Jack and Orson's fundraising challenge

Two brothers from West Kirby, Jack and Orson, raised over £1,500 for the RNLI by running an impressive 100km in 28 days.

West Kirby's D class lifeboat

When they reached the finish line of their challenge, just outside West Kirby Lifeboat Station, they were cheered by their close family members and a couple of crew members (all socially distanced, of course).

The boys wanted to support the RNLI because they live by the sea and often see the volunteers at RNLI West Kirby in action. They'd initially set themselves a £150 target, so were thrilled to raise 10 times that amount! 

Richard Diamond, Lifeboat Operations Manager at West Kirby, says: ‘We are so proud of the boys’ achievement and thank them for raising vital funds that will continue to support all the lifesaving work that is carried out by the RNLI. We look forward to welcoming them onto the crew when they are older should they wish to join!’
