In January 2023, Flora announced that she will be running the London Marathon in memory of her late father.
She wants to raise awareness of prostate cancer after her father, former BBC Breakfast presenter Bill, died in 2022 at the age of 66.
She said: “From the public announcement of his prostate cancer diagnosis in 2018, my dad worked hard to raise awareness of the most common cancer in men.
"Since his death, we as a family have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and thanks from people across the nation, and in particular those men who were inspired to learn more about their own prostate cancer risk and speak to their GP.
“To hear someone say that my dad saved their life is true testament to his memory, and now I want to play my part in ensuring his legacy of awareness and fundraising lives on.
"That’s why I signed up to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK. I want to ensure that everyone can keep their dads, partners, brothers, sons, grandads, uncles and friends around as long as possible.”
As of March 2023, Flora has managed to raise over £10,000.
