Jessica said: "The Sainsbury's Sport Relief

Mile in Bideford is here and it's your time to shine. From teeny-tots

with their mums and dads, to super sprinters up against the clock,

there's something for everyone on the big day – whether you do 1, 3 or

6 miles. Best of all, the money you raise by getting sponsored will be

used to transform lives forever. So come on the 21st March, rise to the challenge!"

Torridge's

lead member for Health and Leisure, Councillor Rose Lock said, "As a

Council we are committed to the people of the district for their

health, leisure, sporting activities and enjoyment. Sport Relief is a

great way to get active, raise cash and change lives for the better."
