What is Sport Relief?
Sport Relief harnesses the power and passion of sport to change lives for the better.
By doing sport, having fun and raising money, everyone can do good and feel good.
All the money raised is spent by Comic Relief to help vulnerable people living incredibly tough lives both at home in the UK and across the world's poorest countries.

Up for a challenge?
For Sport Relief 2008 we’re asking you to challenge yourself, your family, your friends and your colleagues to do something sporty and raise cash.
You can throw down the gauntlet on the 5-a-side pitch with your mates, test your knowledge with a sports quiz in the office or get your friends playing sport on the school playground.
But remember - the ultimate challenge is doing the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile. Join hundreds of thousands of people across the UK by entering your nearest Mile now!
The all important why?
When you rise to the challenge for Sport Relief – either by doing something sporty to raise cash or getting sponsored to enter the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile – you’ll be helping to change lives.
All the money you raise will be spent by Comic Relief to help people living unimaginably tough lives both at home in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries.
So by getting involved and raising money, you can feel good and do good too!
