Event Manager Ben Farmer, 17 of Hanwell said: “We’ve put flyers everywhere, talked to anyone who will listen and really got the word about about Sport Relief 2016. We are delighted that over 400 people have already signed up but we want even more people in Ealing to take part and make it the best Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile yet by beating the total raised in 2014. So let’s show the rest of the country what we can do and raise as much money as we possibly can for this incredible cause!”

This epic challenge will see Eddie aim to run over 700 miles in temperatures of up to 30°C, tracing the story of Nelson Mandela’s life. Comedienne Jo Brand ‘did herself proud’ by taking on a Sport Relief Challenge which seen the 58-year-old walk an incredible 150 miles, coast-to-coast across the country from Hull to Liverpool.
