TWIN sisters from Midsomer Norton are taking on the 2026 London Marathon in support of Marie Curie.

Michelle Ford and Stephanie Cole will run the iconic 26.2-mile race on April 26 as they approach their milestone 50th birthday.

The intrepid pair will be running in memory of Michelle’s husband, Neil Ford who died just 72 hours after a terminal diagnosis.

Neil, a devoted husband, father and “Grampy” was well known and loved in the local community for his quick wit and warm personality. He passed away from cancer in September 2023 aged just 52.

“When the race gets tough, we’ll draw strength from each other and from him, motivating one another all the way to the finish.”
