Siblings, Isabella and Louis to run the Manchester Half Marathon in memory of their dad, Justin
The two are actively fundraising for Moya Cole Hospice
Isabella and her brother Louis are running the Manchester Half Marathon in aid of Moya Cole Hospice.
Isabella and Louis have so far raised over £2,400 for Moya Cole Hospice through their fundraising efforts.
“I only got into running last year. I first did the AJ Bell 10k, so it went from there,” Isabella said.

“My brother’s just recently gotten into running as well so we thought it would be a good idea to do it together,” she added.
Isabella said she has been a supporter of the hospice since her dad, Justin died in 2011.

“Whenever I have done fundraisers in the past it has always been for the hospice,” she said.
As awful of a time that was, I still have nice memories because of the staff that were there at the time. I was really young so it’s always been quite a special place to me. Isabella, Moya Cole Hospice Supporter
According to Isabella £2,000 of their fundraising income was on behalf of their mum’s place of work, DCB Legal, who also shared the fundraiser on their platforms.
“They were a massive help and a massive sponsor for us,” she said.
It has been a busy few weeks for Isabella as she recently got married in Las Vegas. She didn’t let the occasion get in the way of her training, however.
We went to Los Angeles after the wedding and I knew by my running app that I needed to run while I was away so I packed my running shoes and ran around Hollywood which was quite nice! Isabella, Moya Cole Hospice Supporter
Isabella and Louis will be running in the Manchester Half Marathon this Sunday, October 12, where the Moya Cole Hospice team will be out in force to cheer them and our other runners on!
