To help promote Sport Relief Mile events taking place about the country, Cornish Pirates scrumhalf Ed Fairhurst joined up with BBC South West's Natalie Cornah at the Eden Project this week.

People all over the United Kingdom will be running a mile this Sunday, 'Sports Relief Day', but for Natalie and Ed it has been a case of skating 26 laps on Eden's spectacular ice rink.

Newquay-born Natalie, whose father Geoff played for Pirates and was also a scrum-half, appreciated Canadian Ed's willingness to participate, describing him as "a very good skater, and a real gent!"

Since its launch in 2002, Sport Relief has raised almost £50 million, the money going to help vulnerable people both at home and abroad.
