🏃‍♂️🎸🏃‍♂️🎸🏃‍♂️🎸🏃‍♂️🎸🏃‍♂️🎸🏃‍♂️🎸🏃‍♂️🎸🏃‍♂️🎸🏃‍♂️ It’s MARATHON time again ….this October I’ll be running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon fundraising for the RNLI . Please give whatever you can to this fantastic organisation! Plainly it’s one we never want to directly rely upon yet, one that we can only be in awe of for over 200years of 24/7 fearless availability whatever the weather or circumstance. On visiting the local Teddington RNLI station I was made aware of the needs and demands that the Thames creates, be it sorting out poorly maintained small boats in difficulty or search & rescue of anyone in the water for whatever reason. Finally, and not least , I’m running for the RNLI in memory of my step Mum, Marjorie ‘Min’ Chandler a truly benevolent lady to all ,especially the children she taught over her 40+ years career and the three stepsons she acquired and loved upon marrying my Dad. She always had a way to navigate anything life threw at her …and she was a lifelong supporter of the RNLI never missing a monthly donation. Thanks for reading this and please share with your friends and give anything you can🎸🏃‍♂️❤️🤞 PS BBC R2 Folk Show 21st Century Folk 2024 showcased the 200yr Anniversary of the RNLI and there were some inspiring and terrifying stories recounted in song by various current artists . Check it out on YouTube … here is the link to a Seth Lakeman & Fishermen’s Friends tune from the show … https://youtu.be/C-WaEAlY4w0?si=R1mb8EWZsX4X79nw
