Gerry McCarthy fundraising for Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and SVP

As many of you know my dad Martin passed away at Christmas (aged 96), my father in law Eoin passed away in March (aged 90). If ever there was a time to attempt this and in aid of two charities they individually supported all their lives........any donation you could make to these very deserving causes would be gratefully received. Sure its only 42Km..

About Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI)

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the RNLI is ready to save lives. Powered by courage, determination and the support of generous people like you. Our volunteer lifeboat crews provide a 24-hour rescue service in Ireland and the UK. RNLI crews and lifeguards have saved over 142,700 lives since 1824 but we’re more than just a rescue service. We influence, supervise and educate people too. Our Community Safety teams explain the risks and share safety knowledge with anyone going out to sea or to the coast. And our international teams work with like-minded organisations to help tackle drowning in communities at risk all around the world
