Claire Rawlinson (Volunteer Assistant Lifeboat Press Officer, Website Administrator and Lifeboat WAG) has entered into the Southend Colourthon on 4th July this year to raise as much as possible for Burnham RNLI.

The Colourthon is a 13.1 mile moonlit walk around Southend starting (at 8pm) and finishing at Chalkwell Park.

Mark Foster, Olympian, Commonwealth/European Champion and 8 times World Record holder, Oh… and star of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ will be opening and walking in the event.

If you would like to sponsor Claire to help the crew at the Station she’d be really, really grateful.

Please visit www.justgiving.com/claireatburnhamrnli and donate as much as you can. If you are a UK tax-payer you can opt to ‘Gift Aid’ your donation. This means that the Government give (yes, actually give!) the RNLI an extra 28p for every £1 you donate! Now that’s got to be good!

If you know of anyone else that may wish to donate to the cause, please feel free to pass on the above details.

Thanks so much for helping out. You really will be making a difference.
