On Sunday 2 May the British Embassy, and the British Council, in
partnership with the Armenian National Paralympics Committee, will
take to the streets of Yerevan as part of the Sport Relief Mile.

Over the last month thousands of people across the world have taken
part in the Mile, and now Armenian people are invited to participate by
joining Ambassador Charles Lonsdale in running/walking/wheel chairing
a Mile to raise money for the Armenian National Paralympics Committee.

The goal is to raise 500,000 AMD for the Armenian National Paralympics
Committee.

During the weekend of 19th and 21st of March Sport Relief miles were,
thanks to the FCO, for the first time ever held in countries all
around the world. 2,500 runners from 52 Posts took part in a stirring
display of British dynamism and connectedness.

The Sport Relief Mile is an initiative of the British charity Comic
Relief, which raises money to help vulnerable people worldwide.
