As you all know I am a volunteer crew member for the RNLI at Gravesend Lifeboat Station and I decided to do a challenge and give a little extra back.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Powered by kind donations, our search and rescue service has been saving lives around the UK for nearly 200 years with the charity celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2024.

Every pound and penny raised in from the RNLI Tower Run will go towards equipping our volunteer lifeboat crews with the essential training, kit, boats and materials required to continue our lifesaving mission for years to come.

By donating you will be making a valuable contribution to the RNLIs activity in the South East. 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 leave people in need of help.
