As the big day looms, local Fortis Green Councillor Matt Davies (Lib Dem) explains that he is very close to raising his £2,000 target in charity donations for Amnesty International.

On the 23rd April, Cllr. Davies will take part in the London Marathon, alongside thousands of other runners. Cllr Davies completed the marathon in 2003 in aid of the Terrence Higgins Trust and raised over £1500. He set himself a target this year to raise at least £2000, and is excited to have raised very nearly enough to beat that amount.

Cllr. Davies comments:

“I was delighted by the generosity of local people and councillors from both parties when I ran the marathon last time. So this year I have set my target higher and I hope that people will be able to help raise money for Amnesty International by sponsoring me. I am very near meeting my target – a huge thank you to all who have given money to what is a very worthy cause.”
