Seat on the RIB 4 Macmillan!!!

As you will be aware we are going around the Isle of Wight on the 29th June 2014 to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

And the good news is the RIB 4 Macmillan will be going around too

If you want to be in the boat with me for its only outing before the sale then all you have to do is post to say how much you will donate to Macmillan for this one off experience....

You'll be able to drive it too or just be a passenger

I'll be putting in some time on the macrib this weekend with Biffer and I'll donate all the fuel money

It is more than likely that the RIB 4 Macmillan will lead the cruise

Closing date Sunday 22nd June 2014 at 22:00 so whoever posts on here and pledges the most by then gets to go around the IOW on her

This is not an auction.
The highest pledger should pay their donation into our Justgiving account.
You must be fit enough to undertake this challenge.

Good luck

Keep your money in your pocket, you have done more than enough!
Poole Sea Safari will pick that up, happy to send you some money in advance or send me the fuel receipts.
Wish I could run the Parker round with you, but are very busy in Poole.
Regards
Steve

If only I didn't have to helm my own boat all the way round..........

What about offering 10 min slots before / after the main trip for those driving their own craft to raise more dsoh?

Yep, it's the highest pledge up until 10pm tonight, there is only one seat available so it looks like your in the lead at the moment

The fuel is paid for and I'm buying lunch
