Story

Sorry for the early morning message.

I am supposed to be asleep recharging myself for my 200k RNLI cycle ride later this morning.

But after hearing several people I had been in contact with recently had tested positive for covid I done a covid test which was POSITIVE.

I do not want to put the RNLI crew, Volunteers, members of the public at risk and my family at increased risk of catching it especially as we start the summer holiday for school children so I will be isolating.

The RNLI are on call 24 hours a day 7 Days a week therefore on 24 July 2024 I am undertaking a cycling challenge for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) as part of their 200th Anniversary Celebrations.

I am planning on cycling 200km including cycling coastal routes and cycle paths from Weston-super-Mare RNLI to both Portishead RNLI and Burham-On Sea RNLI (BARB) before returning to Weston-per-Mare where I will be completing many lengths of the promenade before finishing at Weston-super-Mare RNLI Station.

My brother-in-law Chris Cox is a member of the Weston-super-Mare RNLI Crew as well as a few of my associates, so I know the time they volunteer and risks they go through from a personal viewpoint. I recall one Christmas he had a shout so left the family celebrations to carry out the rescue. We took him some of the food he had left behind on our way home a few hours later as he was still not back from the shout.

Please support my fundraising and awareness for the Weston-super-Mare RNLI Branch.

If you want to join me for part of the challenge or raise awareness, please get in touch!

Thanks for taking the time to read this and your support.
