Marcus Braybrooke- Dear Friends,  I am hoping to walk one mile every day in May to raise money for RNLI and would be very grateful if you felt able to sponsor and perhaps be kind enough to tell other friends at church. Just before Christmas, I fell and broke my leg quite badly. I spent Christmas at Torbay hospital and received very good care. It was a triumph after 5 days to walk a few yards to have a shower and not be pushed. Since leaving hospital Rachel and Peter kindly welcomed me to their lovely home. Slowly I walked a few more steps. After three months I could walk a short distance without a knee brace, using a rollator. Gradually, I managed half a mile. Now 4 months after the accident I have just walked a mile with one stick. So to say thank you, I am supporting the RNLI in their heroic life-saving work and hope you will sponsor me. A penny a mile or a pound a mile, or whatever – it all adds up. Either on line

Thank you very much, with my love Marcus.
