Story

The Mayday Mile: Will you go the distance?

Walk it. Run it. Swim it. Skip it. However you do it, say hello to summer with the Mayday Mile.

Mayday is a call for help. Usually, RNLI lifesavers answer mayday calls and go to rescue others. But today, with a busy summer on the way, its they who need YOUR help.

The Mayday Mile is a way to answer their call. Cover the distance however you like. Alone or with a friend. Just once or every day for a week. In wellies or on a unicycle. Its entirely up to you.

When you do the Mayday Mile, youre giving RNLI lifesavers what they need to rescue others, and to come home same themselves. From first aid training to breathable kit that helps them keep their cool, there are so many vital things you could help fund.

Thanks to you, well be one step closer to the happy, fun and safe summer we all deserve this year.
