This years Brighton Half Marathon is on Sunday, February 16 and Sonia Marmite aka Paul Brown will be running with the Bear Patrol to raise money for the Sussex Beacon.

If he gets pledges of sponsorship for more than £500, Paul will run dressed as ‘Sonia the bride’ in full make up, wig, veil, white short dress and a flower bouquet. Due to health and safety regulations he will have to run in trainers rather than the rather fabulous pair of Prada booties he had planned to run in.

It is easy to sponsor him.

Text PBSM76 £5 to 70070 to sponsor him today.
