The event has been exclusively responsible for raising the funds to place an inshore lifeboat D608 HELEN AND IN TYTLER on station at Sunderland during 2004, since which time she has assisted in the saving of 56 lives. Saving lives for the RNLI is a continuous focus and so are ours in order to support our brave crews of men and women.
