SeeByte Supports Local Charity

03 September 2010

SeeByte, the global leader in creating smart software for unmanned underwater vehicles, is proud to announce its support for four of its staff-members in their successful completion of the ‘Wan Day’ Scottish Adventure Race. Battling the elements, team ‘SeeByte X’ cycled, ran and kayaked through the unforgiving terrain of the Pentland Hills in an effort to raise funds for Erskine, a local charity which provides respite and long term care for ex-Service men and women in five care homes throughout Scotland.

The event, which took place on Saturday 21st August, tested the physical and orienteering skills of the SeeByte team, taking them on a 5 hour expedition through the Scottish countryside. Proudly gaining tenth place of the forty-four teams entered, ‘SeeByte X’ was delighted to raise over £800 for Erskine.

“Although each of us enjoys outdoor sports, it really motivates you to go that extra mile when you know every penny of sponsorship is going to such a worthwhile charity. The generous donation from SeeByte was greatly appreciated by all involved. Hopefully we can make it a yearly event, and now that the benchmark has been set our sights are firmly placed on beating our efforts of this year.” commented Chris Haworth, ‘SeeByte X’ team-member.

Sales Manager, Ioseba Tena, who was responsible for SeeByte’s contribution to the sponsorship said: “We are very proud of the team’s efforts. Erskine is a vital contributor to the support and care of those Scots affected by war, and SeeByte fully supports their hard work.”
