Fundraiser victory for Strive
Strivers won a much coveted award at yesterday’s fundraiser for the Port Erin Lifeboat.
We took part in the Shell RNLI Raft Race which saw a field of about a dozen teams competing. Despite the valiant attempt by our three-person crew, we failed to take the top prize.
But we were awarded “The Most Heroic Failure” prize as the only entrants that turned back without rounding the bouy. Well it was cold! And we were a man short! And none of us are really strong swimmers! And it was really, really windy! I could go on, but you get the idea.
Anyhoo…is was a really fun day out. Thanks to Tracy Kinrade of Central Software for organising the day. Thanks to Striver Graham and Account Executive Connor for taking part on the day.
And just wait till next year!
