Overview

  • Isla Lough, Paula Radcliffe's daughter, was diagnosed with a rare malignant germ cell ovarian tumor at 13 and underwent chemotherapy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • On April 27, 2025, Isla successfully completed her first London Marathon, raising funds for Children with Cancer UK, a cause close to her family's heart.
  • Paula Radcliffe, serving as a BBC commentator for the event, shared an emotional video of Isla crossing the finish line, celebrating her resilience and determination.
  • Despite her mother's advice to delay the marathon to focus on studies and training, Isla chose to participate at 18, making her one of the youngest runners in the race.
  • The Radcliffe family has lived in Monaco since 2005, where Paula relocated for privacy, better training conditions, and a bilingual upbringing for her children.
