Buy a starting place for the Oslo Marathon through Right To Play and the start fee goes in full to their work to protect, educate and strengthen the most vulnerable children.

Right To Play is an international organization that uses play as a tool to protect, educate and empower children in developing countries. Play is vital for children's well-being, health and development. In crisis and conflict, play gives room to process experiences and normalize everyday life. Play is also important for learning, which results in more children going to school. When children participate in play, they gain better self-confidence and a strengthened ability to exercise their rights.

Right To Play is present in 15 countries and every year 2.3 million children get play included in their daily lives.

ABOUT ACTIVE AGAINST CANCER

Active against cancer is a private foundation established by Grete Waitz and Helle Aanesen in 2007. The foundation's goal is to bring in physical activity as part of cancer treatment. To achieve this, the foundation establishes Respite Rooms, fitness and activity centers for cancer patients in Norwegian hospitals. We do this because research shows that physical activity can be positive for the vast majority of cancer patients - both during and after treatment. Physical activity can help reduce unwanted side effects and provide increased endurance, strength and profit. But most importantly; it helps to build a sense of mastery and increase the quality of life. At Pusterommet, cancer patients receive expert guidance from professionals in a social and pleasant environment in a safe environment, which is important for people affected by cancer. Active towards cancer goals is that all cancer hospitals in Norway that want to get a respite. 16 Respite Rooms have now been established around Norway.

The foundation also supports research on the effects of physical activity and cancer in Norway and the USA, and trains ACTIVE instructors in collaboration with the Norwegian Sports Academy and Oslo University Hospital.

Active against cancer was founded by Grete Waitz and Helle Aanesen in November 2007. Active against cancer income largely comes from the business community and projects related to physical activity. We offer both private individuals and employees in companies the opportunity to participate in popular sports events, where the entire starting contingent goes to Active against cancer. In other words, physical activity for healthy people helps to improve the quality of life of people with cancer.

Together with Norwegian business and active Norwegians, we want to make a difference.
