Swim for Charity
On Saturday 10th April, Ryan Coom (Operations & Marketing Manager, National Mini Storage) participated in the "Legends Relay for Charity" swimming relay along with other former New Zealand Olympic, World & Commonwealth games swimmers to raise funds for charity.
A total of eight teams, with six swimmers per team (and a 50 metre swim for each swimmer) hit the pool in a televised event to raise funds for Diabetes New Zealand. Ryan's team placed 4th in the race and raised over $3000, which included a donation from StorMan.
Well done on your fundraising and swimming efforts!
