Children with an Alive & Kicking ball

Of all the airports in all the world, The Ball rolled into mine

Written here on Friday, March 5th, 2010 by

I made it. I’m on the trip.

Phil and Andrew meet at Casablanca airport

I’m running on empty after three quarters of an hour of sleep due to mad final night-time preparations. But I’m absolutely on The Ball and so pleased to meet up with Andrew and be reunited in Casablanca. All preparations taken care of.

Medical kit: Sorted.
Endless electronics: taken care of.
Sad farewell: behind me.

Senegal here we come.

Donate a ball!

Donate a ball!

Pass the ball on! All footballs donated via Alive & Kicking's website before the 2010 World Cup went to Special Olympics programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. But you can still donate a ball to a good cause...
