Last chance to sponsor Brian's marathon bid!

Brian Paddick, the Liberal Democrats' candidate for London Mayor

Liberal Democrat Mayoral candidate, Brian Paddick, challenged his rivals to join him in running the London Marathon on 13 April. Clearly was up to the challenge - but Brian will still be doing the marathon and DELGA encourages all our website's readers to consider sponsoring him. He is running in support of three charities: Downs Syndrome Educational Trust, Stroke Association and Elton John Aids Foundation.

When he announced his intention to run the marathon, Brian Paddick said: "Running London is an extremely tough and demanding job and the Mayor needs to be mentally and physically fit.

"I am running the London Marathon this year and I challenge all Mayoral candidates to join me - it will be a real test of their mettle.

"If people vote for me on 1st May, they know I will be fit for office."

Brian is running for three charities: Downs Syndrome Educational Trust, Stroke Association and Elton John Aids Foundation. All three charities are very close to Brian's heart: his father died from a stroke, his nephew has Downs Syndrome and he is a keen supporter of the fight against Aids.

To donate to any of these causes just follow any of the following links.
