Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving  Page

Hello, my name is Gareth Johnson. I have been a member of the Armed Forces for 15 years.  

On Saturday 23rd August at 4pm, I will be abseiling 300 feet down Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth to raise money for Ryde Inshore Rescue: an Independent, 100% voluntary Lifeboat station based in Ryde on the Isle of Wight. They are on call to HMCG 365 days a year, and operate two inshore lifeboats from their headquarters at Appley. No matter what the emergency they will be there helping to keep you and your family safe.

Despite to popular belief, Ryde Insure Rescue are not part of the RNLI and do not receive funding from them or the government. They survive solely on donations from the public and fund raising events such as this. All the money I raise from scaling down Spinnaker Tower will be spent in keeping their craft and auxiliary equipment in tip top condition - ready to assist those in peril at sea.

So please dig deep and donate now!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
