How often do we get the chance to say 'Thank you' to someone we've never met, to someone we perhaps would rather not meet and to someone who is always there for us?
Well, now's your chance…
Rise to the Enterprise Challenge, aimed primarily at students, sets the goal of getting as many 'Thank you's' for unsung heroes as they can in a specific amount of time.
Today I received a tweet from a group of Bournemouth University students who are aiming to break the record of 'thank you's' received as they cast their net far and wide to get 2000 people to say 'thank you' to firefighters.
Now I'm a tad biased here and we all love to be thanked. But, as firefighters, we normally only show up when the sh*t hits the fan, you're in trouble and we get it sorted… We don't expect to be praised. We do the job and go home. Simple as…
So, to have this bunch of fine, upstanding Uni students (who all look sober in their pic) supporting us and getting as many people to say 'thank you' to firefighters is fabulous and much appreciated.
Go on, you know you want to… Say 'thank you' to firefighters.
