With the current covid restrictions in Wales, the fundraising activities for the RNLI station at Flint are on hold, which as a charity is very difficult for them.
This however has not deterred their Lifeboat Operations Manager, Alan Forrester, who has set himself a birthday challenge to raise vital funds for the RNLI.
Alan has volunteered for the RNLI for over 50 years and has been a fantastic support to all the crew and the wider community.
On June 19th, on the day of his 70th birthday, he set off from his front garden on an 874-mile static bike ride from Lands End to John O’Groats.
So far, by end of day two, he's completed an amazing 180.3 miles.
You can follow Alan’s journey on the Flint RNLI's Facebook page:

Plus, donations can be made via this Just Giving page:
