Dermot O’Leary giving it some welly for the RNLI this Mayday

The X Factor’s Dermot O’Leary, who has his family roots in county Wexford, has pledged his support for Mayday, the RNLI’s national fundraising campaign in Ireland. Now in its second year and running nationwide from this Wednesday 1 May to Bank Holiday Monday, 6 May, the RNLI is asking the public to give it some welly this Mayday and help lifeboat stations including those in Courtown, Wexford, Rosslare Harbour and Kilmore Quay, continue to save lives at sea. With a fun theme in mind, the Mayday appeal which is supported by John West, is calling on people to lend their support by either purchasing a special RNLI Mayday yellow welly key ring which will be on sale for €2 at various outlets across the country during the campaign or by organising their own yellow welly fundraising event. A keen supporter of the RNLI’s work, Dermot has already lent his support to the Mayday campaign by recording a radio advertisement encouraging the public to get involved and tweeted a photo of himself holding a yellow welly key ring. The yellow welly is an essential piece of the RNLI volunteer lifeboat crew member’s kit. Waterproof with steel-capped toes, the specially designed boots keep the volunteer crew’s feet warm and dry while also protecting them in dangerous conditions on deck. During gale force winds, rain and ice, keeping a sure footing can literally mean the difference between life and death for volunteers. A pair of yellow wellies for crew members costs €50. Among the events taking place in Wexford this Mayday, are a yellow welly key ring sale in Gorey Shopping Centre from 10am to 6pm this Thursday, 25 April. Courtown RNLI will be having a yellow welly car wash at the lifeboat station from 11am to 4pm on Sunday 12 May as well as having a most fashionable welly competition and a welly throwing competition on the day. Prospect holiday and Leisure Park in Courtown will be holding a Pimp your Welly morning and a welly throwing competiton with the residents of the park this Sunday 5 May. The key ring will be on sale in Rosslare Harbour and Rosslare Strand from Wednesday 1 to Thursday 4 May. The key ring will be on sale at various locations in New Ross on Thursday and Friday, 2 and 3 May followed the next week with a music evening to wrap up Mayday events in New Ross boat club on Saturday 11 May. In Kilmore Quay, there will be a coffee morning in the Stella Maris this Sunday 5 May from 11am to 1pm where the key rings will be available to buy. The Kilmore Quay fundraising branch will also be collecting outside Dunnes Stores in Enniscorthy this Saturday 4 May. Michael Doyle, Rosslare Harbour RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager said momentum was building for this year’s Mayday campaign adding that there was a lot of goodwill in Wexford for the RNLI: ‘The RNLI needs this support to train and equip our volunteer lifeboat crews who are on call 24/7 to go to the aid of anyone who may be in difficulty at sea. We do rely on the generosity of the public and are grateful for every cent raised that allows us to continue to deliver our lifesaving work’. As well as purchasing a key ring, the public can also get involved via social media to help the charity raise awareness of its lifesaving work. All you have to do is take a photo of yourself holding an RNLI Mayday yellow welly key ring and tweet the phrase ‘I am giving it some welly for the RNLI this Mayday’ remembering to include #RNLIMAYDAY and mentioning @RNLI
