Seb is walking 100 miles in 100 days which started in April 2025. The five-year- old has a keen interest in his local RNLI station at Littlestone and visits any RNLI station when on holiday or whilst away visiting family.

He is also a member of the RNLI Stormforce and visits the local stations in Littlestone and Dungeness on a regular basis. Seb always gets a warm welcome from RNLI volunteers wherever he visits.

After one of his visits learning about how the RNLI has to raise money, he came up with the idea to help support the RNLI to save lives at sea by doing a sponsored walk.

Seb has already exceeded his original target of £300 and can be sponsored here:
