Sport Relief 2008 – Rise to the Challenge

Sport Relief, for the very first time, took over an entire weekend with three days of entertainment, events and energy designed to challenge the nation from Friday 14th – Sunday 16th March.

The ultimate way to get involved was doing a Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile and, for the first time ever, people could set themselves the challenge of doing 1, 3 or 6 Miles.

Over half a million people participated in a Sport Relief event during the campaign.  In addition to overwhelming public support, a host of famous faces rose to the challenge too.

Overall Sport Relief 2008 raised a record breaking £28 million.
