I Challenge Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone To Run The London Marathon - Paddick

12.01.00am UTC (GMT +0000) Tue 19th Feb 2008

Liberal Democrat Mayoral candidate, Brian Paddick, today challenged his rivals to join him in running the London Marathon on 13 April.

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."

Notes:

1.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 suffers from Downs Syndrome and he is a keen supporter of the fight against Aids.

2.Links for Brian's marathon fundraising will be operational from midnight tonight.
