the inaugural Sport Relief we just had to hold this event again. The response from the UK public was astonishing. Sports enthusiasts at all levels from professional, local, regional and national sporting events took part. Every conceivable sport was played from bog snorkelling to football in
an attempt to raise funds for children and young people leading unimaginably tough lives, here in the UK and across the world.”
The first Sport Relief in 2002 raised over £14 million.
