Round the Island Race · 25 June 2011
Ahoy there ye scurvy donators!
The Pirates of the Isle of Wight (AKA the HS Sailing Team) be tryin' to raise a treasure chest of bullion for WaterAid! Along with over 16,000 other salty sea dogs, we shall be sailin' in the world famous yacht race around the Isle o' Wight. Why not donate some o'yer gold and help us raise money for this most worthy o' causes!
To motivate yer, we pirates arrrgh willing to do make fools of arrrgh-selves. If we raise £500, we'll honour yer efforts by wearin' our bandanas and eye-patches to work fer a day. Want to see us dress as WaterAid toilets? Want to see us dress as mermaids!? Then get donatin'! The more bullion ye give, the more outlandish our forfeits. And if ye land-lubbers have suggestions for any other challenges, be sure to mention them in yer comments too.
And before we forget... Every donation of £2 or more gives ye the chance to win a mystery prize that we will be announcing shortly! Simply state with yer donation comment the position in which ya think we will finish the race. Over 1,500 boats be starting the race, but wi' all those rocks and sea monsters, who knows how many will finish!
Yaar! We thank ye kindly!
One final thing: because we be honest and hard-working pirates, all the gold that ye be donating goes directly to WaterAid.
