Daniel to run the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in memory of his late mother-in-law, Debbie Rhodes

Daniel will be running the marathon in memory of his late mother-in-law, Debbie Rhodes and to raise much-needed funds for the Yorkshire Brain Tumour Charity. 

"After a very short battle with a devastating brain tumor, my mother-in-law Debbie Rhodes unfortunately passed away at the age of 57. 

"Following Debbie's shock diagnosis on the 18th July 2023, Debbie fought courageously and even battled through surgery before her heart-breaking death just 7 weeks later on the 3rd September 2023.

"I will be aiming to cross the finish line alongside Debbie’s son (Thomas), brother (Justin), daughter-in-law (Natalie), and nephew (Jenson). Unity and togetherness is the only way you can bear the burden of losing someone so special.

"Unity and togetherness is something that Debbie taught us all, she was the rock of this incredible family. We are all entering to raise money for the Yorkshire Brain Tumour Charity, a cause to which we have already donated £5,650 from the proceeds that were gifted by the hundreds of people who love Debbie.

"She was the most selfless person I’ve ever met, always went above and beyond for anyone in need, and had such a positive impact on everyone’s life. If by doing this, we can help just one person, then we can take comfort in knowing that Debbie’s legacy will live on through us. We will never let the memory of a true angel fade away.”
