3 nerds on adventure risking their lives for charity

Days to Race: 000

Thanks Railscampers

Date: Nov 25, 2009

So we just got back from Railscamp 6, yay programming camp, go nerds! And while at said camp, we ran a little raffle. All the proceeds were to go towards our charities.

Well we always knew that we were part of an awesome community of ruby hackers, but we found out they were also very generous. We took 300 tickets and it was a sell out!

So this is a great big thank you to all the people at Railscamp who helped get us into first place on the charity fundraising leaderboard. Give yourselves a great big pat on the back.

The Draw

It was dark so the quality is not great.

Run Warning

These adventures are genuinely dangerous thing to do. The website is written in a light-hearted fashion but you cannot underestimate the risks involved in undertaking this kind of adventure. Your chance of dying can be very high, some past teams have been seriously injured. These adventures are not a glorified holiday. They are an adventure and so by their very nature extremely risky. You really are on your own. If it all goes wrong, that's it, tough.
