Marathon effort in tribute to beloved wife and son
A man whose wife and baby son died within a fortnight of each other is running the London Marathon in their memory, to raise money for charity.
Ben Jelley's wife, Charlotte, died from a pregnancy related blood clot after the death of their premature son, Arthur, in 2024.
Now he’s running the London Marathon. The 37-year-old from Market Harborough, Leicestershire is raising money for Tommy's, which funds research into baby loss and pregnancy complications.
