Cim Run, Ride and Walk for Charity 2011 on May 8 at Mont Choisy

The CIM group will organise the second edition of the Cim Run, Ride and Walk for Charity 2011 on May 8 at Mont Choisy.

The objective is to raise funds for the NGO Society for Aid to Children Inoperable in Mauritius (SACIM), through a sporting event.

The announcement was made at a press conference held on Wednesday at the restaurant Life, Rogers House, Port Louis.

Hosting such an event forms part of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of the company.

Several activities such as two cycling events of 75 km and 40 km, a run race of 10 km and a walk of 7.8 km will be organised.

Vaughan Heberden, CEO of the Cim group, stated that they have chosen a charity because they believe in high degree of convergence and want to help children from underprivileged background.

President of SACIM, Dr Doohita Ramdenee said that since the creation of the association around 40 years ago, around 770 surgeries have been conducted mainly in India and Australia.
