Before her passing, Ruth had left Tony a message that said if he was to run the London Marathon again, she'd like him to do it for the charity Pancreatic Cancer UK.
Tony Audenshaw has revealed the note his late wife Ruth left him as he plans to fulfil her dying wish.
The Emmerdale star, 60, who has Bob Hope in the popular soap for more than 20 years, sadly lost his wife in 2017 following her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in 2015.
He is now hoping to fulfill her wish as he is set to take part in the event this year on what would have been the couple's 24th wedding anniversary.
It is the sixth most common cause of cancer death in the UK – around 10,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year in the UK, alongside about 55,000 in the US.
