Richard Hamilton

Richard was instrumental in the development of The Ball. It was his suggestion in 2002 that Phil and Christian meet him in Afghanistan – and that they all travel to Korea from there – that led them to the idea of travelling the entire distance overland with The Ball. He currently works in programme management for the Norwegian Refugee Council. He has served in North Korea, Burundi, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Darfur, Sri Lanka and is presently back in Afghanistan.

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...
