Raising funds for my Search & Rescue team

I've been volunteering as a Licensed Search Technician with Lowland Rescue since 2024. If like me, you've heard of Mountain Rescue but never heard Lowland Rescue before, let me explain briefly what Bucks Search and Rescue is.

We are a team of volunteers trained to help in searching for missing vulnerable people, flood response and other emergencies. As a team we have been finding people, providing flood response and county resiliency services for free since 1987.

When we’re not providing aid and support to the community, most of us have full time day jobs and family commitments, just like you. However, our team of volunteers choose to put themselves on call 24/7 all year round to assist Thames Valley Police.

As a charitable organisation, we rely on generating our own funding to keep us in operation. I've decided that 2025 is the year for me to commit to my first full marathon and use it as an opportunity to raise money to the team. While I have done quite a few half marathon, this is still a significant challenge for me as I juggle work, family life, volunteering and training.

I appreciate that the cost of living is high at the moment but I really would appreciate anything you can spare to sponsor me in aid of my team. It'll really help motivate me get through the rest of my training plan, and undoubtedly will help on the day when I hit the wall!
