Gerard is one of the celebs lending his help to Sport Relief.  As one of the UK’s biggest charity fundraising events, Sport Relief brings people together to get active, raise money and change lives through events and merchandise sales (they do not ship outside the UK). The Sport Relief Weekend is taking place from Friday 19 March to Sunday 21 March 2010 and it’ll be three whole days of energy, entertainment and events for everyone to enjoy, so come on and get involved. Visit http://www.sportrelief.com for more info.

Gerard has been enjoying the events of Carnavale 2010 in Rio this week with friend Rodrigo Santoro and Madonna.  Click the images above for pics from Brahma Beer Box at Rio de Janeiro’s Sambadrome and Parade at the Sambadome .
