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.
