PHOTOS: United Stars Turn Out For Sports Relief

Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand did their part for Sports Relief by visiting with pupils from Harris School in Preston at Carrington.

The pupils, who will complete a 500 mile marathon (each student doing 2 miles) around their school, were rewarded with a trip to Carrington where they met Rooney and Ferdinand.

Speaking of the kid’s efforts Rooney said:

‘Sport Relief is an incredible initiative – it’s great to see the whole nation getting behind it to help make a difference for people that really need it.’

Whilst Rio Ferdinand added:

‘What schools around the UK do for Sport Relief is amazing. The kids love it and so do mums, dads and teachers too!’
