Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman celebrate on Milnerton beach with Table Mountain behind after arriving in Cape Town completing the Long Way Down, motorcycle journey, Cape Town, South Africa. Keep checking the gallery for updates! 🙂
Thanks to Eva Green’s management for informing me that Franklyn is due to start filming in the middle of September. Unfortunately, they decided that the cast should be a little younger: the three leads in their twenties rather than their thirties. The new cast is yet to be announced. Eva’s still in it, but the rest of the cast will be about her age.
As you may have noticed, our Forums were offline for a couple of days and we did our best to solve the problem and get it back online as soon as possible. I’d like to thank my host Gertie and also my friend Mary for their support and help. We apologized for any inconvenience, but it was beyond our control.
3 June 2007. Ewan and Charley along with Richard Branson during a motorcycle ride across Africa to raise money for a charity that supplies vital medical supplies and equipment to remote areas. Check the gallery for more pics! :tongue:
Sir Richard Branson, President of Virgin Atlantic, today delivered the first batch of motorcycles that will help to bring much-needed medical support to small villages and communities in Kenya and throughout Africa.The money for the motorcycles was raised by customers contributing to Virgin Atlantic’s onboard charity appeal and by staff who took part in a wide range of fundraising events over the past year. The money was then donated to support the work of the charity Riders for Health, which was selected by Virgin Group’s charitable arm Virgin Unite. Riders for Health has been working in Africa for 17 years and will buy and maintain the motorcycles.The motorcycles will enable a team of healthcare workers to provide rural communities with improved access to essential drugs and basic health services. Many of the suffering who need help live in remote areas and are often many miles away from the closest hospital or clinic. Each mobile health worker could potentially reach thousands of people each year, offering health education messages as well as vital medicines.Delivering the first of the 31 motorcycles in Kenya, Sir Richard was joined by two of the world’s most famous bikers ? actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman ? who are themselves currently raising money for Riders for Health through their own iconic adventure, traveling the Long Way Down through Europe and Africa.Source: www.v-flyer.com
