Our RNLI lifeboats in the South East protect hundreds of communities through our 24-hour search and rescue service. They rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and modern stations to launch from. From the stunning Dorset, Sussex and Kent coastlines to the unpredictable tidal Thames, our favourite places in the South east are enjoyed by millions of people from across the country every year. But the water remains an unpredictable environment that can catch people out. People will always need our help and we will always be there to answer that call.Keeping a modern fleet of lifeboats maintained, fuelled and ever ready to go to the rescue from all 31 South East lifeboat stations is expensive and we rely entirely on voluntary donations to ensure this service is maintained. 

This is why I will be taking on an enormous mental challenge and be running 1 mile on the hour every hour for 24 hours. To make it a marathon distance I will run 2 miles for the first 2 hours making this challenge even harder!!  This challenge will not only be physically hard but also mentally, requiring me to stay awake for the majority 24 hours and running at all hours of the day. The fact that I will be running at every hour of the day will represent the fact that the RNLI volunteers will drop everything at any time of day to help those in need. I would really appreciate if you could donate even a couple of quid and if not I would really appreciate it if you shared this fundraising page so I can raise as much as possible for an amazing cause. Thank you so much for any help and I will post updates on this page regularly.
