R150k bike boosts Good Morning Angels funds
Silverstar heard the call for funds and responded with a R150 000 contribution.
Silverstar became the brief but proud owner of a R150 000 bicycle on which a cyclist did the Jacaranda FM Miles for a Million initiative to raise funds for the radio station’s Good Morning Angels community outreach programme.
Miles for a Million involved three intrepid cyclists – Hendrik Steytler, Deon Brink and Ivan Potgieter – braving the elements and taking on a 1 700km, nine day, fundraising ride from Cape Town to Gauteng, visiting many off the beaten track places along the way.
The gruelling ride ended on Saturday, 13 April at the Big Red Barn in Irene and the R1 million target was reached – and then exceeded during the Breakfast with Martin Bester show on 15 April.
Silverstar, a past supporter of Good Morning Angels initiatives, heard the call for funds and responded with a R150 000 contribution that officially ‘bought’ Hendrik Steytler’s Giant bicycle – and then gave it back to him.
“The bravery and determination of the cyclists as well as the excellent work done by Good Morning Angels inspired our contribution that in fact was put towards buying Hendrik’s bike for him, and sponsored by Giant for the ride. The donation will also boost the Good Morning Angels funds that is used to make a real difference to people in need,” Adele Wilson, Silverstar’s CSI Manager, said.
