Kevin White grew up in South Queensferry watching the RNLI crew setting out to save lives at sea.
He is now combining his admiration for the charity with his work role as Compliance Officer at Scotmid.
He will be raising funds for the organisation which is Scotmid’s charity partner for 2024 by running a 10-race challenge. He has already completed the Supernova Kelpies in March and is preparing for the Scottish Half Marathon in August.
Scotmid’s goal is to raise enough funds to buy an Atlantic 85 lifeboat capable of carrying four crew members and a haul of essential medical and rescue equipment.
Kevin said: “I am incredibly proud to be supporting such an important charity for communities around the UK. My father and grandfather were keen runners, but I only took up running during lockdown, so this challenge is a great opportunity to follow in their footsteps. I am loving the challenge but not sure if my legs will agree by the end of the year.”

Kirsty Connell, Membership & Community Manager (East) at Scotmid, said: “We are immensely proud of Kevin and his achievements in this challenge so far. Through our partnership with the RNLI, we hope to raise enough funds to purchase a new Atlantic 85 Lifeboat. It’s great to see our colleagues contributing through individual and team challenges. Good luck Kevin!”
