Tough Ten 2010
Tough Ten 2010 in support of Weston RNLI Crew Training
14th February 2010 will see the annual Weston-super-Mare Tough Ten, again raising funds for Weston RNLI!
Help us to save lives today by joining Team RNLI in 2010's Tough Ten Challenge!
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is delighted to have been chosen once again as the official charity for the 2010 Tough Ten Challenge - in 2009 we raised £3,500. The 10 mile multi-terrain race goes ahead Sunday 14 February, in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset and has a 2 hour time limit! Can we beat that and raise more this year?
From 2001 to date in 2009 Weston-super-Mare's lifeboat has launched 392 times. They have rescued 235 people, including swimmers, leisure craft users, windsurfers, fishermen and people stranded by the rising tide.
In addition, since 2001, the RNLI have rescued over 80 people who live in Weston-super-Mare.
The Weston-super-Mare Crew all live within the local community. All are volunteers, giving up their time and risking their lives by responding to launches at a moments notice.
This is your chance to give something back.
RNLI Train One Save Many (TOSM) Team
In recognition of their hard work and commitment, we are looking for runners to join our 'RNLI Train One Save Many' team in the Tough Ten Challenge and raise money in support of crew training.
As a part of this team, you will be helping to raise a total £1,500.00, which would be the equivalent cost of training and equipping a lifeboat crew member. (Includes the basic requirements of a lifejacket, dry suit and gloves)
All runners will receive our 'RNLI TOSM' pack which includes our RNLI running vest, training t-shirt, a runners water bottle, Train One Save Many goodies and an exclusive RNLI kit bag!
To qualify for one of our limited 15 RNLI Crew Support places, we are asking participants to commit to raising £100.00 in sponsorship money. To apply for your place you can download an application form here and return it to the address at the bottom of the form.
