Paula Radcliffe's daughter, 18, is running her first marathon five years after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer as her mother shares harrowing details about her diagnosis


The former world record holder and winner of seven major marathons retired ten years ago.

Paula Radcliffe's daughter Isla, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer five years ago, is going to be running her first marathon (pictured together with her son Raphael) Radcliffe, who crossed the Tokyo marathon off her list last month and now lining up in Boston on Monday to complete the set, said she asked her gynaecologist if she could freeze her own eggs in case Isla was left infertile. Radcliffe expects Boston, on April 21, to be her final marathon, which will mean that she has run in all six majors, the others being London, Berlin, New York, Chicago and Tokyo, which she ran in March in a time of two hours, 57 minutes and 26 seconds.
