A father whose daughter was rescued by a Penarth lifeboat crew is preparing to run the London Marathon in aid of the RNLI.
Frankie Ingall said she feared she was going to die when she was swept out on a paddleboard by strong winds towards the Bristol Channel in 2022.
The 30 year-old couldn't even see land by the time she was rescued two miles from shore after 40 minutes.
Her dad, Matthew (63), will be among 85 runners tackling the world-famous marathon for the lifeboat charity next Sunday.
He said: "I wanted to do something to recognise the amazing work of the RNLI generally but also what they did to rescue Frankie."
"When it gets tough to complete the long distance of the run, I just think about those crew members out at sea to rescue Frankie and also what Frankie must have been going through in that moment."
Frankie said: "By the time the lifeboats got to me, I couldn’t see land. I honestly thought I was going to die."
"There was no judgement or blame and the crews told me not to be put off by what happened. I now don’t need any reminder to take my phone in a waterproof pouch and keep it to hand."
