Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year, as well as launching The Lifeboat Station Project (www.lifeboatstationproject.com), I'm running my third Great North Run for the RNLI.

If you supported me last year, thank you — together we raised £2130 (plus Gift Aid).

That was more than enough money to train a new Lifeboat crew member for a year and put me in the top 5% of fundraisers on JustGiving!

I'd love your support again this year. It'll help spur me on through my training and across the finishing line on 7th September.

Here's how your donation could help the RNLI:

• £16 will pay for a pair of gloves;

• £25 will pay for a week's training for a lifeboat crew member;

• £42 will pay for a pair of sea boots;

• £53 will pay for a safety line.

All donations of any size are really appreciated.
