Story

Theo is aiming to be the first 6 yr old (that we know of) to sail his Oppy Sailing Dinghy 2 miles from WKSC to Hilbre Island single handed. Theo wants to raise £200 for West Kirby Lifeboat in celebration of 200yrs of the RNLI.

Theo is overwhelmed by the support so far and weather permitting good to go Tues 28th May.
Theo is now targeting £200 each for his local West Kirby and Hoylake Lifeboats and £200 for Abersoch. Theo was born in and spent the first 3 and a bit years of his 6 to date living in Abersoch with family connected to their Lifeboat.

Thank you all so much for your generosity. With some cash also handed to Theo he has achieved a whopping £1800. Theo visited Abersoch LB yesterday (pic above) and presented £400. He is intending to visit Hoylake this coming week with another £400 and is having a special celebration with his home station West Kirby Lifeboat this afternoon presenting them with the remaining £1000.

Mission complete! Not only made it the 2 miles to Hilbre but sailed around the island to go ashore on the beach on the SE corner. Theo says a massive thanks to those who have supported. We will leave the link live until Friday if anyone else wants to recognise his achievement by supporting his fundraising!
