GET ACTIVE AND FUNDRAISE FOR SPORT RELIEF
TfL is joining Sport Relief to encourage staff, customers, schools and businesses to get more active and raise money for charity.
From 1 to 20 March , TfL will ask people to pledge to 'make their journey more active for Sport Relief'. This could be anything from cycling once a day, to using the stairs instead of the lift. Participants can then share their pledge on social media, and possibly win daily spot prizes.
Money raised will help people in the UK and give aid to some of the world's poorest communities at the same time. Among the activities, TfL will host a special guided walk around the original Circle line on Sunday March 13. Along the way, participants will be able to listen to a podcast of well-known Londoners talking about their favourite places on the Circle line, and there will be food and drink giveaways to keep people fuelled up for the 14mile walk.
This will be followed the next weekend by the flagship Sainsbury's Sport Relief Games events at Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park and at other locations across the capital. The games will give people the chance to walk, swim or cycle themselves proud by signing up to do one of three events: Sport Relief Mile, Swimathon at the Aquatics Centre or a cycle ride at Lee Valley VeloPark.
Leon Daniels, TfL's Managing Director for Surface Transport, said: 'We are really excited to be partnering with Sport Relief. This is a great opportunity to get active while raising money for disadvantaged people both at home and abroad. Whether it's pledging to walk or cycle one journey a day, or enjoying what London has to offer on a walk around the Circle line - we have lots of fun activities available for all
ages and abilities.'
