Penlee Lifeboat crew to make historic bike ride for charity.



A message from Penlee Lifeboat crewman, Wayne Davey

Hi everyone

Just a quick message to let you all know about the bike ride that I'm training for to raise £20,000 for three charities.

Two Royal Marine Commandos, Cpl Justin Morgan, Cpl Damian Barnes, both of 771 squadron Search and Rescue and myself (Wayne Davey, SWAST Paramedic) are cycling from San Diego to New York, which is approximately 3100 miles, including scaling the Rocky Mountains, and we are hoping to complete the ride in less than 17 days, which means we'll have to average 185 miles each day. We are all riding together, and NOT in a relay so its going to be physical!

The charities that we are raising money for are the Little Harbour, which is the new Childrens hospice in Cornwall, the Cornwall Air Ambulance, and the Royal Marines Benevolant fund.

Our website is

We are also on Facebook

And you can donate at

Or you can text your amount and RAAM99 £    to 70070 (if you want to donate £3 then text=    RAAM99 £3       to 70070

Hope you are all well and happy to support our effort!

All the best

Wayne Davey
