I’m taking on an Ironman 70.3 (7th of June'26) and a half marathon (17th May'26) to raise money for the RNLI — a charity that has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I’ve worked for the RNLI for 4 years, starting when I was 16, and I currently lifeguard on the beach. I see first-hand the difference the RNLI makes every single day — from preventing incidents before they happen to saving lives when things go wrong. It’s impossible to work on the beach and not appreciate just how vital this charity is.

The RNLI is also something I’ve grown up around. Both my dad and grandad served on the lifeboat, so supporting the RNLI isn’t just something I do for work — it’s something that’s always been part of my family and my values.

By pushing myself through these two endurance challenges, I’m hoping to give something back to a charity that does so much for others and relies heavily on donations to keep operating.

Any support — whether that’s a donation or simply sharing this page — would mean a huge amount.

Thank you for helping me support the people who are always there when others need them most.

More information about RNLI: The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is a registered charity that saves lives at sea and keeps people safe around the UK and Ireland’s coastline. They operate a 24-hour lifeboat rescue service from hundreds of stations and provide trained lifeguards on over 240 beaches, mainly during the spring and summer season. The RNLI also delivers vital water safety education — and all of this work is funded almost entirely by donations.
