Our next nominee for the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award Fundraiser of the Year Award is Alex Ellis-Roswell.

Alex was living and working in Kent when his father passed away in 2013.He was determined to channel his grief into helping others.

He decided to start raising money for the RNLI.

Armed with his tent, a pair of walking boots and the clothes on his back, he set off on a journey that took him all over the country - visiting all 238 RNLI stations.
