Considering her own efforts to help in the fight against cancer, her final wish comes as no surprise: for her loved ones to consider running the London Marathon in aid of Pancreatic Cancer UK.
I last ran London in 2015, the same year Ruth was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she died seventeen months later in April 2017.".
In part, he wrote: “I ran over fifty marathons, all over the place, often tying in an October half term holiday with family and friends where my wife Ruth would run too, Luberon, Mallorca, Amsterdam.
Even towards the end of her journey she was passionate about helping others facing the disease, and made sure that some of her cells were harvested to be used in cancer research trials in her final days.
Tony added: “Pancreatic Cancer UK were brilliant with Ruth when she was ill.
