A woman who made a promise to her husband is now about to fulfil it 16 years after his death.
The last words Tracy Barlow said to her husband Andrew were that she would "make him proud". The 36-year-old died in 2006 after battling a brain tumour for nine years.
But now Tracy, 51, from Southport is all set to run the London Marathon, keeping her promise to her "amazing and "positive" husband. Tracy said when uttering the words she had "no idea" how she would fulfil them, but hopes running the 26-mile race will honour his memory.
