Emma Smith with her sisters Hannah and Charlie Three sisters nicknamed the ‘Hope Runners’ are in the running for a prestigious charity award. When Emma Smith, 30, lost her 30-year-old husband Scott to to Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in August 2019, she turned to running with the help of her sisters Charlie and Hannah. The trio teamed up to run the 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon, raising more than £20,000 for the blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan. The race, which was originally set for April, was postponed to October due to the Covid-19 pandemic and eventually took place virtually, meaning the sisters had to train twice.
A WOMAN from Skipton, who lost her husband to cancer in 2019, and her two sisters are set to be honoured by the charity Anthony Nolan, at a digital awards celebration next month Emma Smith, and her sisters, Hannah, who also lives in Skipton, and Charlie, who lives in Leeds, call themselves the ‘Hope Runners’ and have been shortlisted for blood cancer charity’s group fundraiser of the year award. Back for its eighth year, the award ceremony will recognise the achievements of the volunteers, fundraisers, clinical supporters and donors who help the pioneering blood cancer charity save lives. It usually takes place at the Tower of London, but this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, there will be a digital celebration with invited supporters announcing winners in specially pre-recorded films.
