Highland Spring has been unveiled as official water supplier to the UK Sport Relief 2008 event taking place nationwide from Friday 14 – Sunday 16 March.

Sport Relief harnesses the power and passion of sport to change people’s lives for the better. Comic Relief spends the money raised through Sport Relief to help vulnerable people living difficult lives both in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries.

The Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile sits at the heart of the Sport Relief Campaign, where people across the UK will be challenging themselves, their friends and their family to do a mile and raise some money. There are 23 big city Mile events and over 200 locally organised miles on Sunday 16 March. Highland Spring will supply 200,000 bottles of water to keep milers hydrated and full of energy on the big day.

Marketing Director Richard Beeston said: “Sport Relief is widely recognised as a landmark event on the fundraising calendar. Not only is the event a good way of reinforcing the health benefits of staying hydrated during sport, but it is great to be involved in such a worthwhile event.”
