Dotcoza, the 23-year-old guinea pig in Andersen Consulting`s e-commerce research project, is to participate, in spirit at least, in the 10km Red Nose Day Road Race.
His is the first "virtual" entry in the race, which he will run on his treadmill purchased online while the real race takes place in Stilfontein on 27 May.
Iafrica.com, a Web partner in the Dotcoza project, has announced that it will be supporting Dotcoza`s charity of choice, Kids` Haven, by pledging R500 for every kilometre completed.
The South African public can get involved by completing the online pledge form available at www.iafrica.com. The highest individual pledge will win Nike running gear, training supplements and a professional fitness assessment to the value of R2 000 from www.lifestyleMD.com, the online health and fitness Web site.
