Story

I am taking part in the Tour de Dyfed & West Glamorgan, raising money for the RNLI, who helped save my Grandmother's life as a 3 month old baby on 7th May 1915 on the ill-fated RMS Lusitania: https://www.rmslusitania.info/people/saloon/audrey-pearl/

This punishing 190 mile ride from Swansea to New Quay will see the team visit each of the 10 active RNLI stations along the way: Mumbles, Horton & Port Eynon, Burry Port, Tenby, Angle, Little Haven, St Davids, Fishguard, Cardigan, finishing at New Quay.

It’s gruelling, unforgiving terrain involving 60+ miles per day of riding and over 12,000 ft of climbing for the entire journey.

The money raised will be shared equally between Tower and New Quay Lifeboat stations. Volunteer crews at New Quay have been saving lives at sea off the coast of Ceredigion since 1864. Tower Lifeboat Station, at Waterloo Bridge on the Thames, is the busiest in the entire RNLI network, launching more than 10,000 times since opening in 2002. The RNLI receives no government funding and relies on public generosity to provide these vital services.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind support!

Best wishes,

Hugh
