‘Extreme’ generosity proves to be extra helpful

THE success of the recent 2014 Powasol Umzumbe Extreme meant that the organisers had the opportunity to give back.

A donation of R10 000 was made to Port Edward Primary School. Bronson Louw and Cameron McBean, both past pupils of the school, thought it would be a good idea to give back to a school that they were once part of.

The money which was donated to the school will be used to help those families that are not financially well off to pay for school lunches, swimming costumes or whatever else might be needed by the children who are less fortunate.

The second donation that was made by the Powasol Umzumbe Extreme was to a young boy suffering from leukaemia.

“I first met Errol Welgemoed, Joshua’s father, at the Umzumbe Extreme and as we got chatting it became clear to me that this little boy needed all the support and help that he could get. One can only imagine what a family must go through when dealing with an illness of this nature,” said Cameron.

A donation of R8 000 was made to Joshua, at a ride that had been organised to raise money for the treatment of his illness, and eventually the treatment of other children suffering from leukaemia.
