Simon James Walked 1200 Miles for Charity

Posted on April 11, 2023 by Thomas Dudley

Simon James is the Plastics Division, Operations Manager at Thomas Dudley Limited and spent most of last year walking.

See below the Penlee Lifeboat post.

Congratulations Simon and Dawn who did most of the steps with him.

The Proclaimers sang 'I would walk 500 miles'. But our sponsored walker Simon 'walked 1200 miles'!

A fundraiser came to the RNLI’s Penlee Lifeboat Station this week having walked 1200 miles to raise £1808.36 in funding for the station.

Simon and Dawn James from Wordsley in the West Midlands had great support from colleagues at his workplace Thomas Dudley Ltd. Some of the workers walked with him at times and the company kindly donated a further £250.

We are very grateful for their support which will help our lifeboats save lives. ‘Ivan Ellen’ is our 55 foot Severn Class Lifeboat - the biggest in the fleet, and she is joined by the B class Atlantic lifeboat ‘Mollie and Ivor Dent’ one of the fastest.

Simon and Dawn are pictured with Penlee mechanic Tony Rendle.
