One fundraiser’s epic trek
After 3 years, 9,500 miles and 7 pairs of boots, fundraiser Alex-Ellis Roswell has completed his walk around the coasts of Britain and Ireland – calling in at every lifeboat station along the way. He crossed the finish line at Minnis Bay in Kent on 11 November. ‘I’ve met thousands of volunteers and it’s been incredible to do that in a unique way,’ Alex says. ‘It’s a real family. Everyone’s doing something different but for the same purpose. Everyone from the volunteer crews to the people in the shops to the press officers and the fundraisers. It’s really nice to see that common goal in very different parts of the coast.’ Alex tweeted all through his adventure, and pictured here is a selection of some of those RNLI Family moments.
