She finished a marathon in her wedding gown to honor her late husband

Laura Coleman-Day ran the final three miles of the London Marathon wearing her wedding dress as a poignant tribute to her late husband, Xander. The act brought back memories of their nuptials and helped her finish the race in record time after battling leukemia and GvHD following his passing. Coleman-Day raised over $23,000 for Anthony Nolan’s research into GvHD and plans another marathon in the coming weeks to honor both Xander and her growing family.
