Our chosen charities are the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and Alzheimer’s Research UK.
We have chosen the RNLI because it’s impossible to not end up by the coast when you’re living in the United Kingdom of Great Britain or in the Republic of Ireland. The RNLI is a charity which anyone may need to use at some point (though hopefully never!), and they rely completely on donations from the public to help provide their amazing selfless crews with vital equipment. We chose the RNLI because no matter what your age, sex, race, religion, nationality or even species (our beloved pets) this wonderful charity will always answer your call for help, and it
is imperative to support those who have saved over 144,000 lives since 1824! An average of 2 lives saved every day for 200 years!
We believe in living your life to the very best, to venture on those adventures, take those chances and most importantly, make those treasured memories along the way. Alzheimer’s Disease affects around 6 in every 10 people with dementia in the UK, a huge percentage! And this disease can affect anyone of anyage.Itmustbeterrible,tolivesuchanamazing
Each donation is automatically split 50-50 between the RNLI and Alzheimer’s Research UK.
life, only to forget it; and loved ones can only watch as this horrid disease takes over. This is why we have chosen Alzheimer’s Research UK; they are a charity with one goal: to find a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. They are currently researching a new drug which can help dramatically slow down the symptoms
of Alzheimer’s Disease and is currently in the trial stages. Inspiring!
Though we’re still a long way away from the start line in December 2026, between now and then we have the monumental challenge of acquiring and preparing everything! However, we have managed to make a start! We recently completed our Ocean Rowing Course and are booked on another course which will include – Survival, First Aid & Navigation at Sea, together with Radio and Comms. We also have exciting news that we have been contacted with an offer for an ocean rowing boat! Throughout the year we hope to gain enough sponsorship to be able to purchase this vessel.
