redfiona99Okay, you all know I love sports for various reasons, but these two make me love parts of them even more:
13:48 - Millar "Planted" 150 Trees Yesterday
The rider who wears the polka-dot jersey today is David Millar. His Saunier Duval-Prodir team has instigated a special project with the hopes of planting one million trees in Mali. Part of that initiative involves a donation of one tree for every kilometer that a member of the squad spends in an escape during this year’s Tour.
Millar attacked at the 3km mark of stage one and was caught by the peloton after 150km in the lead. So, in effect, the Scot was responsible for the planting of 150 trees in the African country thanks to his efforts yesterday.
And this from F1
Red Bull Racing's fan car with a difference will roll out at Silverstone this weekend for the British Grand Prix and Mark Webber has given the new livery on the RB3 the thumbs up.
Over 30,000 pictures have been uploaded onto the livery of Mark Webber and David Coulthard's cars, raising over a million dollars for the spinal injuries charity, Wings for Life. - whole article here http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/05072007/23/pics-red-bull-faces-charity-livery.html
I want to hug them all. Even David Millar, which is a peculiar feeling for me.
