In the 12th edition of Szalupy Ratunkowe (Rescue Rafts), we instantly collected 40,000 GB. How many users participated in the Viking charity drive? Where will the help go this time? What record did our community manage to break? And what's next? Dock ⚓ comfortably and "listen" to the latest news from the port.
A Ballad of Noble Vikings
We're lucky to have people with big hearts sailing on our ship. And this is no myth! Proof? Every time we inform our users about the start of Szalupy Ratunkowe, they put on their helmets and... donate their accumulated gigabytes for a noble cause. And this is the twelfth time we've gathered for raft-based assistance.
Each time, we collect exactly 40,000 GB, which translates to 20,000 PLN. We support an organization chosen by us beforehand with this amount.
This is a record
There are heroes who perform real miracles in three days. Some swim 120 km in the open sea during this time. Others – like a couple from India – visit all continents.
Still others – like our Vikings – fill the Rescue Rafts 🫶 in less than three days.
When we think we'll shout like Dariusz Szpakowski – "This is a record! This is a result that no one will beat for a long, long time!", you, like Usain Bolt in 2009, do it AGAIN. You surprise us with the immensity of your kindness and break 🥊 subsequent achievements.
There has never been such a lightning-fast Viking collection! Never ever.
Until recently, the record-holding tenth edition of Szalupy Ratunkowe lasted about 75 hours. In the twelfth iteration of the campaign, we managed to collect 40,000 GB in 52 hours. That's less than three days!
Where will our help go in the Szalupy Ratunkowe project?
This time, we are fighting depression and mental disorders. The collected funds will go to the Fundacja Nie Widać Po mnie (You Can't See It On Me Foundation). Our friends spread knowledge and actively work on mental health prevention.
And they don't have an easy opponent. It's incredibly difficult to fight an invisible monster that often resides deep within a person and gives no sign of its presence. That's why prevention and fighting the stigmatization of ill people are important. Especially since the data is alarming.
- 23% of Poles suffer from at least one mental disorder in their lifetime,
- 20-30% struggle with low mood, anxiety, and decreased life activity,
- 60% deal with chronic anxiety.

Therefore, in addition to financial support, together with Fundacja Nie Widać Po Mnie, we have set an additional course 💪. In short: we will make some noise!
Vikings, let's make noise
Together with the foundation, we will raise awareness about mental health prevention and fight the stigmatization of the ill. What does this mean in practice?
In addition to a jointly conducted social campaign, we have planned, among other things:
- an educational newsletter – expert materials on mental health, available only to Szalupy participants. If you haven't subscribed to the newsletter yet, sign up here: https://szalupyratunkowe.pl/;
- a special surprise in the Viking Store – for now, it's quiet 🤫 at sea, but it's worth waiting for this wave of goodness.
- and… give us a little more time, and you'll see how we make noise.
And if another act of kindness will make your wait for news more pleasant, feel free to click here. Here you can donate any amount to support the activities of Fundacja Nie Widać Po Mnie.
