EXMOUTH RNLI ‘MAYDAY MILE 72 FOR 72 CHARITY RUN !’

A mayday call is the most urgent plea RNLI lifesavers receive, and is used when life is in immediate danger. Usually our lifesavers answer calls for help. But today, with summer on the way, it's they who need YOUR help.

The RNLI are expecting more families than ever to book holidays in the UK and Ireland this year. People are excited to get away – and that’s how it should be. But it’s so easy to get into trouble by the water. For walkers to get cut off by the tide. For a paddling child to be swept out to sea.

Exmouth RNLI are raising funds to keep our local lifesavers fully equipped to deal with these emergencies – and come home safe themselves. With a year of Coronavirus restrictions disabling our fundraising events, it’s never been more important for our charity to continue its quest to save lives at sea.

So two of Exmouth RNLI’s very own volunteer crew members, Dougie Wright and Geoff Mills, have got together and will be hitting the tarmac on Saturday 15 May 2021 to raise those urgent and much needed funds for Exmouth RNLI.

But they won’t just be running a mile. No, between themselves our two intrepid volunteers will be endeavouring to complete a relay of no less than 72 kilometres, representing one kilometre for every lifesaving emergency Exmouth RNLI Lifeboats were tasked to attend in 2020 !

Can you support them in their gigantic quest ? Will you sponsor our two volunteer RNLI crew as they set about trying to raise as much funding as possible for our lifesaving charity ?

If you’d like to help, please sponsor them by completing an all important donation on this page.

Thank you.
