May marks our annual fundraiser for the local RNLI station that we depend on for so much- Dunmore East RNLI.

This is our 4th year to participate and this time round we plan to do at least a mile a day for the month of May. My wife Deena and I will travel about the locality and try build up the miles as we go.

It is a bit different to our previous efforts which saw a one-day or two-day event to bring in some funds but we will, of course, keep the focus on our maritime shoreline and heritage. We look forward to giving regular updates on not just our progress but on places to see, and history to share, Fingers crossed that some of our friends and fellow maritime enthusiasts join us as we go. We may even have a guest blog or two.

It’s all about raising those necessary funds to keep the vital service that is our local RNLI. So if you would like to make a contribution you can do so, by visiting our donation page here, and look out for our weekly updates.
