A man who ran the London Marathon carrying some of his late wife’s ashes said this year he is running to thank Macmillan for the charity’s help to make life move forward. Chris Rose’s wife Angela died aged 40 in February 2019, 18 months after being diagnosed with breast cancer and weeks before he ran the Virgin Money London Marathon. Mrs Rose, who enjoyed keeping fit, had hoped to run the London Marathon and her widower carried some of her ashes in a wristband so they could cross the finish line together, raising £10,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
