No Finish Line - Peg Friends

Remember the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides we met a couple of days ago? Several of them had pegs fixed to their scarves. Seems it's the way to display special friends' names - at least in the world of scouts and guides.

No Finish Line - the Singing Prince

If you wonder why H.S.H. Prince Albert's mouth is open it's because he's singing along with everyone else. He's doing one circuit of the course along with some of the children and volunteers, before handing out the prizes for those who walk, ran or jogged the most kilometres.

As well as a donation to the Cardio-Thoracic Center of Monaco for children with heart defects, the money raised from this year's No Finish Line will go towards work in developing countries, including funding for a sterile operating theatre at the Sheik Zayed hospital in Nouakchott in Mauritania; and support for the House of Life project for young people affected by AIDS (in conjunction with AIDS Fight Monaco, whose president is HSH Princess Stephanie).

Up till now projects supported by the charity include:

• installation of computer equipment in the paediatric unit of the University Hospital Centre at L’Archet II in Nice for children who are hospitalised 'long-term'
• reinstatement of the rural life and craftsmanship centre in Guiberoua, Ivory Coast
• renovation of the 'Virgen de Guadalupe' dispensary in Bale, Panama
• purchase of state-of-the-art monitoring equipment for the neonatal unit of the University Hospital Centre at L’Archet II in Nice
• saving young children with cardiac malformations by arranging for them to have operations at Monaco's Cardio-Thoracic Centre

No Finish Line - the Scouts and Guides

The Monaco Scouts and Guides are waiting for HSH Prince Albert to arrive when he and they will do one circuit of the course.

In the last photo you see they've been asked to 'smile for the camera.' Notice the magnificent Lady Moura in the background.
