RISE TO THE CHALLENGE: GET ACTIVE AND RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY

A very popular UK fundraising event, The Sport Relief Mile, is coming to South Africa. The inaugural event will be held in Cape Town on the 21 March 2010 at the V& A Waterfront, the same day that the event takes place in the UK. As one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events, the Sport Relief weekend brings the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives. The whole thing kicks off on Friday 19 March with all sorts of fundraising fun at home, at work and at school. Then on Sunday 21 March, everyone, celebrities included, is invited to do 1, 3 or 5 Miles and get sponsored for their efforts to help people living unimaginably tough lives.

Comic Relief UK’s Director of Global Strategy, Amanda Horton-Mastin, said: “Sport Relief has a great history of thousands of people doing both small and extraordinary things to make the world of difference to those in critical need. We’re delighted that for the first time ever, South Africans will be rising to the challenge alongside their British counterparts and raising money for children in the Western Cape”.
