Paula Radcliffe shares emotional clip of her daughter, Isla, 18, crossing the London Marathon finishing line after battling ovarian cancer age 13
Isla, 18, was diagnosed with germ cell ovarian cancer at the age of 13 in August 2000, which left her needing weeks of gruelling chemotherapy.
Paula - who competed in four Olympic Games and won gold in the World Championships in Helsinki in 2005 - told how her most gruelling marathon was dealing with Isla's diagnosis and its aftermath over a tormenting two-year period. Paula and husband Gary Lough, a former middle distance runner and athletics coach, moved to the south of France in 2005 and live in a village just outside Monte Carlo with Isla and son Raphael, 14. The couple met at Loughborough University and Gary helped coach Paula on the road to glory winning a series of major titles and marathons before retiring 10 years ago.
