Laura Coleman-Day honored her late husband, Xander, by wearing her wedding dress during the London Marathon, just three miles from the finish. Xander passed away in February 2024 due to complications from stem-cell transplants. This marathon marked Coleman-Day’s twelfth in twelve months, aimed at raising funds for a stem-cell transplant charity after enduring a tough year. Their love story began around a military base and included their Harry Potter-themed wedding in 2019, a joyful life together until his leukemia diagnosis changed everything.
Wearing the wedding dress during the marathon allowed Coleman-Day to feel a deep connection to her late husband Xander, marking her journey through grief.
Completing her 12th marathon in 12 months has not only helped raise funds for a stem-cell transplant charity but also defined her path through a challenging year.
