Frequently, the RNLI answers mayday calls, but this May they need your help. The charity is calling on the people of Achill and its diaspora, to support the crew’s Mayday Mile to help raise vital funds.
The fundraiser will see volunteers rowing one mile from their lifeboat station in a flotilla including kayaks, currach and watercraft commonly seen in the waters around Achill Island.
Eilish Power, Achill Island press officer, said: “Mayday is our call for help, as we rely on the generosity of the public to support events like the Mayday Mile. Training, kit, stations, fuel – these are just some of the things we need to save lives.”
The fundraiser begins on Sunday, May 1st and will run for the month in Mayo. Donations can be made at www.royalnationallifeboatinstitution. …
