A bereaved father will run a half-marathon in memory of his eight-year-old daughter, as he seeks to support the “mission” to treat the condition which led to her death, just 11 days after diagnosis.

Andy Smith, 44, will run this year’s Royal Parks Half Marathon in memory of Emily, his eight-year-old daughter.
