Jack Finlay has already smashed his £1,000 target ahead of Saturday's race
And Jack Finlay is swapping his yellow wellies for a pair of running shoes as he takes on Kirkcudbright Half Marathon.
Jack, who joined the crew earlier this year after returning to the town, is tackling the 13.1 mile course to raise funds for the RNLi in its 200th year.Jack said: “It reached £1,000 in under five hours, it was a pretty good day. “Kirkcudbright’s fairly got on board with it and there’s been a lot of funds from a lot of different people across the UK.When asked if he planned to run Saturday’s race, which starts and finishes in Hope Dunbar Park, in his lifeboat kit, Jack added: “I thought about it but I don’t think my feet could handle 13 miles in the welly boots!“Maybe that’ll be the next fundraising challenge.To donate to Jack, visit www.justgiving.
Saturday’s race starts at 11am and there will also be family fun in the park all day. If you’d like to take part, visit www.entrycentral.com/kbt
