Could you drink only water for 10 days?

An RNLI campaign wants you to try.

A CHARITY INITIATIVE is asking the public to drink only water for 10 days.

The RNLI’s H2Only challenge kicks off this Tuesday and is asking participants to give up the drinks they love for 10 long days and drink nothing but water throughout the challenge.

Gerry Canning, Skerries RNLI crew member said: “The H2Only challenge is extremely tough. We know that going 10 days without a morning cuppa, a pint after work or a can of fizzy drink will be really hard for everyone taking part.

“Every euro raised is so important to the RNLI. As a charity, we rely on the support and generosity of the public so that we can continue to save lives at sea. All the money raised by people taking on the H2Only challenge will be greatly appreciated.”

Everyone who signs up to take on the challenge will receive a pack containing two H2Only temporary tattoos to wear which last up to 10 days – so participants can proudly display their exclusive H2Only ‘ink’ while taking on the challenge.

All those brave enough to take on the challenge can sign up now here.

In 2015, RNLI volunteer lifeboat crews across Ireland launched 1,098 times and rescued 1,244 people.
