RNLI Chief Executive to raise funds by cycling to Rome
Howard Lake | 29 August 2007 | News
RNLI Chief Executive Andrew Freemantle will be cycling from RNLI HQ in Poole (Dorset) to Rome to raise money for the RNLI.
Andrew plans to complete the 1,100 mile journey in under three weeks this September, giving up the majority of his annual holiday allowance for the benefit of the charity. Andrew, who is in his sixties, has already run the London Marathon in aid of the RNLI.
Any money raised by the cycle ride will go towards the building of a memorial dedicated to the 438 RNLI crewmembers who have lost their lives saving others.
