Bill Turnbull’s daughter Flora follows in his footsteps by taking on London Marathon in his memory

Bill Turnbull’s warmth as a breakfast show host woke us up each morning. His diagnosis woke up Britain to prostate cancer. And his death sparked an outpouring of love and the biggest ever spike of people checking their risk in a single day.

The much-loved BBC Breakfast broadcaster and journalist inspired millions with his warmth, humour and easy charm. And since he shared the news of his diagnosis in 2018, he pushed prostate cancer up the agenda and saved countless lives.

Now his daughter is continuing that legacy. In his memory, his daughter Flora will run the London Marathon to raise money to save men's lives. A challenge the great man himself took on, no fewer than five times.
