Week 41 - Sport Relief

I'm a great admirer of the BBC's charity fundraising programmes.  Sport Relief is a spin-off from Comic Relief which has been raising money for charity projects since 1985.  50% of the money raised is spent in the UK, funding projects such as support groups for those with mental health issues, disabilities or dementia.  The other 50% is spent in the poorest communities around the world, helping people out of poverty and providing life-saving but often simple healthcare.

I'm sure many of you know someone who has been raising money for Sport Relief.  My friend Innes completed a 5km swim this week so I'm sponsoring him!
