At long last, Sport Relief 2012 has arrived and we’re now building up to just one thing – The Sport Relief Weekend! It all kicks off on Friday 23rd March with a day of fundraising fun at home, at work and at school, before a night of special Sport Relief telly on BBC One, packed full of celebrity performances and moving documentary films.
Then, of course, there’s The Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile on Sunday 25th March, where hundreds of thousands of people will take to the streets to raise money and change lives. You’ll be able to see all the action on The Sport Relief Mile Show on BBC One later that day. The best bit is, all the cash you raise will be spent by Comic Relief to help people living unimaginably tough lives, both in the UK and across the world. Whether it’s to support poor and disadvantaged people at home, or further afield, with loads of ways for you to get involved in Sport Relief 2012, we hope you’ll do just that.
If you’re looking for some full-on family fun, Sport Relief has the perfect day out for you! When your family does a Mile for Sport Relief, you’re doing something truly amazing. The Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile is happening on Sunday 25th March and, with three distances to choose from – 1, 3 or 6 miles – there’s something for everyone on the big day.
The toddlers can do 1 mile with mum, the teenagers can race 3 miles against their mates and dad might just be brave enough to take on the big 6 miles to really rise to the challenge! Your family could even help to set a world record at Flagship Miles with the Hula Hoops Hoopathons (find out more and enter at hulahoops.com). And you might all rub shoulders with some famous faces along the way, So what are you waiting for?
Secure your place at your perfect Mile and join tens of thousands of people as you rise to the challenge to help change lives forever. That’s because all the money you raise is spent by Comic Relief to help people living unimaginably tough lives both here in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries. In fact, wherever you live in the UK, you’re within 30 miles of a project supported by Comic Relief. Whether it’s helping children with learning disabilities to take part in sport, or supporting isolated older people – your cash can help make the world of difference. So by getting sponsored to do the Mile, you could be helping to change lives not that far away from you.
