Tooting resident to run London Marathon memory of her father
Good luck to Tooting resident Sophie, who’s running the Manchester marathon this Sunday in memory of her father who recently passed away, and to fundraise for the MND Association.
Sophie tells us, “My Dad was diagnosed with motor neurone disease back in 2021, and sadly passed away on 27th March 2026. It was in April 2025 that I decided to start running – because I find it therapeutic, but also to run for my Dad and raise money for the wonderful charity.
“The past 3 weeks have been very sad, but I’m looking forward to running on Sunday in memory of my incredible Dad.”
