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.
