A father who successfully battled cancer three times has inspired his daughter to run a marathon in his name.

Jan Baron has been treated for three different types of cancer over the past 20 years and been through gruelling chemotherapy and surgery.

Despite this, the 80-year-old is still fighting fit, goes on regular long walks and works on his allotment.

His daughter Steph Baron, 43, from Peacehaven, is now aiming to raise thousands of pounds for Cancer Research UK as a thank you .
