P.Diddy stopped by City Hall to donate his $2 million, raised from running the NYC Marathon, to the children of New York City, and luckily, he brought an extra-large, foamcore-mounted check, perfect for press conferences. Mayor Bloomberg said, Sean raised these funds the hard way by training for and running in the ING New York City Marathon. Seans performance in the marathon was impressive, but more impressive still was that he showed New Yorkers that one person can make a big difference in the lives of our public school children." Then he joked that Department of Education Chancellor Joel Klein would wear P.Diddy's blinging diamond earrings if the Diddy did it again, but Diddy said he wouldn't run unless he raised $10 million. Diddy wouldn't comment on whether he'd endorse Mayor Bloomberg in 2005, probably thinking, "Brother only donated $10,000 - no way."
