Intrepid David Set To Visit Scarborough RNLI on Charity Mission

A septuagenarian is planning to visit 180 lifeboat stations - including Scarborough’s - to raise money in memory of his late mum.

Starting at his Wakefield home on 1 March, David Holdsworth aims to drive an average of 87 miles per day in his Volkswagen Campervan T6.

If all goes according to plan, he will call at Scarborough lifeboat station on 4 May, the day before he completes his ambitious fundraising tour.

David, 70, will stay in caravan parks, hotels and B&Bs as he circumnavigates England, Wales and Scotland.

He says the plan is “pretty mad, but very exciting and very challenging at my age!”

RNLI senior community manager Sarah Child adds:

“We are truly grateful to David for his epic challenge, raising vital funds for the RNLI in memory of his mum. The RNLI is powered by the public’s generosity and we are so grateful for his support, which will help us to continue to save every one.”
