Saul’s Race Across the Atlantic for the RNLI

Hi 

My name’s Saul and I’ve been part of the Barrow RNLI Lifeboat crew for 2 years. During my relatively short time with the crew I’ve seen first-hand what a massive impact the RNLI have on the lives of people who live, work and spend their holidays around our coast - last year alone 329 people were directly saved from drowning and over 41,000 people were aided by RNLI lifeboat crews and lifeguards around the UK. I’ve only had a couple of scary shouts myself, but the more experienced members of the crew have told me stories about the dangers they’ve faced during call outs. RNLI volunteers across the country risk their lives and see some terrible things in an effort to save lives at sea – so I’m challenging myself to do more and I need your help!

At the end of August I’ll be taking part in the Atlantic leg of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. That’s 7250 miles from London to Uruguay, taking roughly 33 days at sea to complete. Before joining the Barrow crew I had no boating experience and I still have very little sailing experience, so this is going to be a challenge!   

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I want to raise as much money as possible for the RNLI and every donation will help, no matter how small. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about RNLI: The RNLI is a registered charity that saves lives at sea. It provides, on call, a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service to 100 miles out from the coast of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and a beach lifeguard service on over 200 beaches in England. The RNLI continues to rely on voluntary contributions and legacies for its income.
