My Personal Message Hey Guys,On 1st August 2010 I am planning to swim 5.5km (3.5 miles) in the Irish Sea! I will swim from Rockabill Island (a tiny lighthouse island off the east coast of Ireland) to Skerries on the mainland. Yes I am serious! Yes I am slightly crazy! Yes I do need your support! I am doing this mad challenge to raise money for the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution). The Skerries crew have been a great support while I have been based on Rockabill for my job, this year and in previous years. I want to give something back. RNLI do tremendous work in the UK and Ireland saving lives at sea and they rely on donations to keep going. So please support me if you can, and the RNLI. This challenge is planned for 1st August but will be weather dependent - I hope to do it one day between 31 July and 6 August. Please read a few words about the charity that I have chosen to support below. You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your support, Laura |

About my charity The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is a registered charity that saves lives at sea. It provides a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service to 100 nautical miles out from the coast of the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. The RNLI, which provides nine out of ten sea rescue launches, continues to rely on voluntary contributions and legacies for its income. The RNLI in Ireland has 43 lifeboat stations operating 55 lifeboats in order to provide a ring of safety around the Irish coastline. This fleet enables the lifeboat service to reach at least 90% of all casualties that are within 10 nautical miles of lifeboat stations within 30 minutes of launch, in all weathers. Last year Irish Lifeboats launched 976 times and rescued over 1,000 people. Click here for more information |
