A bereaved father is running the London Marathon in memory of his daughter Ocean who died of a rare genetic disorder at the age of four.

Tom Farnell, from Swindon, Wiltshire, is raising money for Ronald McDonald House Charities, which supported his family while his daughter, Ocean, was in hospital.

Ocean spent much of her life at Oxford Children's Hospital being treated for Rett syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects brain development and causes severe mental and physical disabilities.

"The little bit of pain or whatever that I'll go through is literally nothing… compared to what she went through," Mr Farnell said, ahead of the race on 27 April.
