funds for Sport Relief lives in the South West, the UK and across the world’s poorest countries.
In September, David Walliams started Sport Relief off with an epic splash when he completed The BT Sport Relief Challenge: Walliams vs The Thames.
Despite battling a nasty bacterial bug, itchy water flea bites and bitingly cold water, David swam a staggering 140.54 miles – that’s seven times the length of the channel – and raised over £1million for Sport Relief.
Here’s how people in Plymouth can do their bit. To enter the mile costs just £6 for adults, £3 for children and £15 for a family of four. Apart from taking part, there are many quick and easy ways to fund raise. The best way is to get sponsored to do the Sport Relief Mile but there are many other great ways to raise cash too.
The Sport Relief website at
www.sportrelief.com contains a wealth of information including details on how to receive a free fundraising kit with dozens of ideas.
A range of Sainsbury’s Sport Relief clothing and accessories are also available via the website from sweatbands to water bottles and
T-shirts. Do the mile, win a medal
If ever there was a year to be adorned with a medal for taking part in a huge, national, sporting event, surely this is it.
So it’s great news that every participant who completes the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile on March 25 will be awarded a medal for going the distance and raising much-needed cash for Sport Relief.
Sport Relief takes place every two years and organisers are hoping that the figure of 3,300 runners who took part in 2010 will be topped this year. The run in the South West raised around £800,000 in 2010 but more than £1 million was spent on projects in the region as a result.
