Addicks backing Sport Relief

Charlton's management team and skipper Nicky Bailey have given their backing to this month's Sport Relief events.

Addicks boss Phil Parkinson, assistant manager Tim Breacker and first-team coach Mark Kinsella joined forces with the midfielder to promote the biannual fundraising event, which takes place from Friday, March 19th to Sunday, March 21st.

And Parkinson is calling on fans to don their running shoes, saying: "I am challenging all Charlton fans to do your bit for Sport Relief and enter your local Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile. By taking part you will be raising cash to help people who live unimaginably tough lives every day."

The quartet posed with special Sport Relief T-shirts last week, and with Sport Relief runs taking place in Bromley, Beckenham and Dartford, not to mention a flagship event along the Victoria Embankment in London, there are plenty of opportunities for fans to participate.

A Sport Relief spokesman said: "Sport Relief harnesses the power and passion of sport to change lives for the better. And the best bit is that all the money raised will help to transform the lives of those in desperate need across the UK and the world's poorest countries."
