SPORTY types are being given a chance to get on TV while doing their bit for charity.

The BBC's One Show is looking for Hounslow residents to take part in a relay race for this year’s Sport Relief campaign.

The event will see people from all over the UK join forces to run a mile each in a 1,000 mile relay from the Isle of Mull to the Mall in London, and there are places available on the route coming through Hounslow then Brentford on Sunday (March 25).

Anyone over 16 can apply by visiting www.sportrelief.com/the-one-show .

Here at the Chronicle we are also putting on our trainers for sports relief and hoping to raise £300 for the cause.
