Alex Ellis-Roswell, is the man who is walking 6,500 miles around the entire British coastline to raise money for a charity that saves lives at sea. With over 3000 miles so far and raised over £7000 for RNLI Lifeboats. He’s decided to catch the ferry in to Belfast at the end of this week to also walk around Northern Ireland and ROI before carrying on with the last half of the British coast.
Growing up beside the sea in Margate, Essex, Alex and his family had always been supporters of the RNLI. When his father passed away at the end of 2013, he was inspired to attempt this challenge that had been on his bucket list for a long time. ‘I wanted to do something completely different, to change my environment,’ he explains. ‘I thought it would be a good way to raise awareness and cash for the RNLI and to see my own country.’
