There is a quote on the image from Emily, which reads: "We knew how lucky we were to even complete a marathon and how much we wished we could have been met with grandpa's smile at the end."

A woman and a man, Gary Woods, standing side by side and smiling with their arms around each other, after completing Edinburgh Marathon. There is a quote on the image from Gary, which reads: "He was so proud.
