Story

About the Challenge

In July 2021 my world was turned upside down.  My son Jay tragically drowned while swimming in a lake.   I want to help ensure no parent goes through this same pain. Lately I have been working closely with the RNLI to deliver safety messages in the community. I am also campaigning to change legislation and ensure there is lifesaving equipment and appropriate signage, in areas not legally obliged. 

In order to raise awareness of these key messages in memory of Jay, I will climb Slieve Donard as many times as possible in 24 hours. I am doing the challenge with a friend, who will be raising money for his own personal charity. 

The event will be supported by Newcastle RNLI volunteers so money that I raise will go to their station.

It would be great to see as many people as possible come along and support us on 13th August. I will keep this page updated with information on how our training is going and how you can support us on the day.

About the RNLI in Northern Ireland 

The RNLI provide, on call, a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service around the coast of Northern Ireland and a seasonal
lifeguard service.

RNLI lifeboats in Northern Ireland launch close to 300
times each year.

They also work extensively through the country to give
both sea and inland water safety messages to community groups, and schools.

95% of their total income comes from donations and they are
separate from the Coastguard and independent of the Government so they couldn’t do what they do without the generosity and support of the community.

Please donate to help them continue their vital work.
