Can you spare 99c for the brave crews of the RNLI?

One of my favourite charities is the RNLI. I think the volunteer crews are extraordinary, dedicated and brave. They basically put their lives on the line every time they respond to a call.

Living in a seaside town with an RNLI station, during really stormy weather the thought always enters my mind “I hope there’s no one in trouble at sea today”. Sometimes, if there is a launch, the sound of the launch flares boom reverberates around the town and draws me to the door to look out to sea.

This doesn’t happen so much now though, as the crew all have bleepers to call them for a launch.

There are 43 lifeboat stations around Ireland and they rescued 8,000 people last year. That’s an average of 22 per day.

Sean Olohan is a resident of Wicklow Town and heads the folk band ‘Avoca’. Sean and the band have released a single called ‘Saving Lives’. All the proceeds from the sale of the single will go to the RNLI.

The single is at Number 6 in the Downloadmusic.ie charts right now and it would be amazing for it to get to number 1. It’s only 99cent to download.
