A TEENAGER from North Yorkshire is running the TCS London Marathon in memory of his dad who died from a brain tumour - and he's being supported by a Harry Potter actress.

Damian Colman-Chadwick, 49, died from a glioblastoma (GBM) five years ago. His son, Rafe, 18, from Harrogate, will be one of the youngest runners taking on the 26.2-mile race on Sunday, April 21 in aid of the charity Brain Tumour Research.

He said: “When Dad was diagnosed, he was told by doctors he had six months to live, yet he cracked on with life with a smile on his face, because he knew the most important thing he could do, was to be there for me as my dad, despite the circumstances we were in. He lived for two years, far longer than what the doctors anticipated.
