Charity
Right To Play programmes aim to improve the lives of children affected by poverty, war and disease. We work closely with communities to set up sport and play programmes designed to teach important skills including leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution, self-esteem, communication, commitment, respect and fair-play. The network and infrastructure we set up enable local communities to take ownership of the programmes, leaving a long lasting impact.

Will Carling Cycles to Paris
I will be cycling 520km from London to Paris from 24th to 27th June 2010 on behalf of children's charity Right To Play.
Starting at the Royal Palace of Hampton Court, cycling through the garden of England and across the Channel to France and finishing at the iconic Eiffel Tower after riding past the famous Parisian landmarks. L2P is a tough cycling challenge, mentally and physically. This will test my endurance, stamina, backside and fitness to the limits – and I am fundraising for Right to Play along the way.
I will be embarking on this challenge with friends Zinzan Brooke, Mike Powell, Ian Lobley and our eldest Tom Carling (and he did have a choice!!)
I am hugely indebted to Specialized for supplying me with a superb bike and to Berkshire Cycles for Tom's bike and all their help and advice.
Please show your support by donating online and leaving us a message below - every donation will go straight to Right To Play.
For more information on the event click here.
Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.
