A mother and her daughter duo will run the Sheffield Half Marathon this Sunday to raise money for Cancer Research UK in aid of their much loved family member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Helen Pryde, alongside her daughter, decided to run the marathon to support her husband after he was diagnosed with lung cancer in June 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Pryde, 51, said: \u201cThis organisation is so important to us and many other families, the feeling of completing this is going to be so rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She described the past couple of years as being some of the \u2018toughest times of my life\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said: \u201cI am so proud of my daughter for deciding to tackle this with me, she is my superstar and has been so strong during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Pryde also ran the Sheffield Half Marathon last year, saying the feeling of crossing the finish line was \u2018thrilling\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she plans on participating in the marathon again next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The race will start at 9.30 this Sunday, with thousands of people across the country coming to take part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The majority of participants will complete the 13 mile race in 2-3 hours, with some of the quickest completing it in just over an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is run in the memory of Jane Tomlinson and her legacy organisation \u2018Run for All\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The start line will take place at Arundel Gate in Sheffield\u2019s city centre, following down onto Furnival Gate and Ecclesall Road, and finishing back at the start point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will also be multiple road closures, including Arundel Gate, Norfolk Street, Surrey Street and Charles Street between 4am-4pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/shef-live.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image0-1-1024x768.jpeg\")
