Anti-crime work
A group of 81 business people raised R4-million for anti-crime work and recently completed a 450 km cycle tour. The tour started at the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and went through Zambia, Namibia and Botswana, ending at the Victoria Falls. Change a Life Cycle is in aid of the Mike Thomson Change a Life Trust. Mike was a senior manager at Computershare and was murdered last September in his Craighall Park, Johannesburg, home - shot and stabbed in front of his wife and three young children. Each rider in the Change a Life Cycle tour had to raise at least R20 000. Computershare doubled the money. Of this money, R350 000 is going to the Children in the Wilderness programme. The Mike Thomson Change a Life Trust also supports the DNA Project.
