Walker aims to visit every lifeboat station
A FUNDRAISER who has spent the last three years walking around the British coastline on a mission to visit all 237 lifeboat stations is now heading for Yorkshire.
Alex Ellis-Roswell undertook the 9,500 mile trek to raise money for the lifeboat charity, the RNLI, and has just completed a 4,500 mile tour of the Scottish coast.
He is now spending the summer and autumn on the east coast on his way back home to Kent and hopes his 20 million footsteps will bring in £95,000.

“And the fact I’ve managed to raise so much money to support them says to me how much respect people have for the volunteer crews and what they do for us.”
