Family noticed their dad 'wasn't right' on Portugal holiday - three months later he died
A family have spoken of their heartbreak after a beloved father from Rochdale died just months after they noticed something was wrong while he was on holiday in Portugal.
Now, his daughter Lianne is preparing to run three marathons back-to-back to raise money to find a cure for the disease. You can donate here. “I had missed calls from my brother, Luke, when we finally spoke on the phone, he told me that Dad was in hospital with a brain tumour. This was the first I had heard of Dad going to hospital, let alone having a tumour.Lianne said things had become so bad with her father that he didn't even recognise his home when he had returned to the UK. She said he became so ill after radiotherapy that he did not want to continue with the treatment.
In memory of her father, Lianne, a marine science project manager from Plymouth, is now preparing to take on three marathons in as many days as part of the Atlantic Coastal Challenge. This will see the amateur runner take on 126.6km of undulating coastal trails with the support of Luke as well as her partner and uncle.
