Thankyou Seb
The end of the walk culminated with a bucket of ice cream, a cake, as well as a presentation of a certificate and a gift of a Littlestone RNLI Teddy Bear.

He is a member of the RNLI Stormforce and visits the local stations in Littlestone and Dungeness on a regular basis.
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 save lives at sea by doing a sponsored walk.

Seb's has walked 100 miles in 100 days, he started in April 2025 and finishing today (Sunday 6 July). The six year old has a keen interest in our local RNLI station and visits any RNLI station when on holiday or whilst visiting family. Seb always gets a warm welcome from our volunteers wherever he visits.

The total to date is £1455, you can still donate by following the link.
