Comic Relief reports that this year’s Red Nose Day campaign has lived up to its 
billing as “The Big One” and has now raised £63,019,955.
The charity announced its
latest total to supporters and donors via email, letting them know how much more
the 16 March 2007 event had raised. By the end of that night itself the total stood
at £40,236,142.

The message included a reminder about the different ways of paying money into the
appeal for those who had collected money but not yet passed it on.

Comic Relief expects the total to continue growing.

The email update also included a message encouraging readers to support the Global
Campaign for Education’s efforts to help the 80 million or so children around the
world who do not have an opportunity to go to school.
