New Recruits: Chemmy Alcott and Sebastien Foucan
January 2008
We have recently signed up two new athlete ambassadors. They are freerunner Sebastien Foucan and skier Chemmy Alcott. Sebastien is the founder of free running - a physical art, in which participants attempt to pass all obstacles in their path in a smooth and fluid way. Sebastien also starred in the opening sequence of the latest James Bond movie, Casino Royale. Chemmy is the UK's #1 downhill skier. She has been National Champion 5 times and came 13th at the last Winter Olympics in Turin.
Our ambassadors are crucial in spreading the word of Right To Play and representing the charity at fundraising events. Both Sebastien and Chemmy are very keen to be involved however they can and both will be taking part in the Nikon project where they will be asked to photograph their sporting lives for a whole year. The photos will be exhibited in November and auctioned in aid of Right To Play. We look forward to seeing their photos and working with them in the future.
