Brian the Snail completes London Marathon

by Ethos public relations

Fundraising champion, Lloyd Scott, has completed the London Marathon dressed as Magic Roundabout character Brian the Snail, after finally crossing the finishing line at the Mall this morning at 10am.

Averaging a mile a day, Lloyd and the Magic Marathon team are hoping to raise £200,000 for national disability charity, Action For Kids, which helps to support children and young people with physical and learning disabilities and their parents and carers. The money raised will be spent on providing life-changing equipment for children and young people with disabilities.

Lloyd, over the years, has raised more than £5million for charity running marathons, and took five days to complete the 2002 London Marathon in a deep sea diving suit. He has also cycled across Australia on a penny-farthing, and was awarded an MBE in 2005 for his charity work.
