Connor Wilson of Clifton Prep, Nottingham Road, KwaZulu recently raised more than R1000 for the South African Veterinary Foundation in memory of his pet mouse, JoJo, and his brother’s Labrador retriever, Malaika, who both died of cancer early in 2010.
The project was part of Connor’s Learning for Life programme and he got spectators and friends as well as riders at the Clifton horse show to sponsor rides and jumps. Connor’s donation will assist the Foundation to improve the life of animals by supporting research projects on cancer and infectious diseases that affect our beloved pets.
