Weymouth runner raising funds for RNLI in memory of her brother

Terri Peay, from Weymouth, is one of the finalists in the Fundraiser category in 大象传媒 Radio Solent's Make a Difference Awards for 2024. The Fundraiser Award celebrates people who have gone the extra mile to raise funds for a good cause.

Sadly Terri lost her brother, Dan, to the sea in 2020. Weymouth Lifeboat recovered him so his family could lay him to rest. Terri wanted a way of saying thank-you to the RNLI so completed a 200km fund-raising challenge in memory of her brother, and to mark the RNLI's 200th anniversary. To make this more difficult, Terri was diagnosed with heart disease - cardiomyopathy.

The Make a Difference Awards are your chance to say 鈥淭hank You鈥 and show recognition and appreciation for people who love to make life better for others. Nominations for the 2024 awards have now closed and finalists have been selected by a panel of judges. The winners will be announced at our 大象传媒 Radio Solent Make a Difference Awards ceremony in September.
