Schu donates $10m to tsunami victims
Seven-time world Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher has donated $10-million to the victims of last week's Asian tsunamis, his manager Willi Weber said during a German telethon on Tuesday.
"The dawning of the New Year has not been as joyful for us this year because of the catastrophe in Asia. We sympathise with the victims in their grief," Schumacher said.
The death toll from the massive December 26 earthquake and resulting tidal waves around the Indian Ocean neared 146�000 Tuesday.
