In the organization of The Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre and many other charities, on September 2, The Great British Duck Race takes place. This charity event includes 165,000 individually numbered rubber ducks "race" along a one kilometer stretch of the River Thames near the Hampton Court Palace. Ducks will be carried along the river by the natural current. At noon ducks will be released into river. First duck to cross the finish line will mean one lucky recipient will receive a 10,000 pounds cash prize!
There will also be another 30 superb prizes for the next 30 ducks to finish. To be part of the race you'll need to adopt a duck at 2 pounds sterling. Be there if you can because there's one more reason: winning a new World Record. The last World Record attempt was in 2001 and the Singapore Duck race won with 123,500 ducks so it’s all there for the taking. Very intense!

Before, we were talking about London. And where is a London there is a Paris. I don't know why, but these two cities always go together, hand-by-hand. We invited you to the charity event in London because you should help others every time you can. Since we are good, but you are the best, we lead you in nightlife in currently one of Paris' trendiest bars, Le Man Ray. This restaurant, located in an old movie theater, opened with a big bang eight years ago. Johnny Depp, John Malkovich, Sean Penn, and Mick Hucknall of Simply Red are the partners in the business.
