Hearing mum had cancer 'one of worst days of my life'

The son of a woman who died from pancreatic cancer is running a marathon every month for a year to represent the number of months his mum lived after her diagnosis.

Peter Dunlop, 39, from Taunton, Somerset, has so far completed marathons in the Italian city of Pisa, Peterborough and Wales, and will be running the London Marathon on Sunday.

He had been living in New Zealand in September 2016 when his mum Jane Dunlop was diagnosed and said it became "one of the single worst days of my life".

The money Mr Dunlop raises will go towards Pancreatic Cancer UK's research into early detection of cancer.
