Fundraising events in 2010
Sports Relief - Rise to the Challenge!
The sponsorship money’s been counted, checked and verified and we’re now able to share the final fundraising total for The Worthing Leisure Mile.
Your fantastic event raised a whopping £ 5,341.49 and every single penny of it will be spent by Comic Relief to help disadvantaged people, both at home in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries, to turn their lives around. Please pass on our heartfelt thanks to every single person that helped organise The Worthing Leisure Mile – we salute you!
Whether your Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile raised £50 or £15,000 your incredible hard work, support and enthusiasm is already helping to change lives. Just as David Walliams found out earlier this year when he met 13-year-old Naseema from India.
She and her family used to live on the streets, and instead of going to school, Naseema helped her mother try to scrape a living by rag-picking and doing household chores for other people.
Luckily, Naseema found out about a project called Butterflies, which uses money raised through Sport Relief to help street children. They teach classes in the park which are particularly aimed at kids like Naseema who aren’t in school.
She started going along to these classes regularly and took part in their sports programme too.
Naseema’s life really has changed immeasurably thanks to cash raised through Sport Relief. She and her family have now been able to move to a house with running water and electricity. And in April, Naseema got a full-time place in school so she can now work towards her dream of becoming a doctor when she grows up.
Swimathon - April 2010
Local swimmers helped to raise £4,000 at the Aquarena during the 2010 Swimathon. The donations include the total of £2m raised during this national event for Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Swimathon Foundation. We would like to thank all participants and organisers of this event.
