Local sisters run emotional extra mile for their father and Crossroads Care ahead of London Marathon
Joanna and Ella Tilley ran the Old Deer Parkrun last weekend as part of their training for the London Marathon, which they're running in aid of Crossroads Care. Their father Clive, who sadly lost his life to pulmonary fibrosis a year ago, was the Director of Old Deer Parkrun, a passionate runner, and the person who inspired their love of running. In his memory, the sisters were joined by several other local runners to mark the occasion and run an extra mile at the end of the course.
