Jota has been characterised by his kindness since his death - best exemplified by the surprise he prepared for Sergio Aguiar, father of Southport victim Alice da Silva Aguiar.
David Stancombe, whose seven-year-old daughter Elsie Dot, and Sergio Aguiar, father to nine-year-old Alice, said their little girls were with them as they ran the 26.2mile course.
David Stancombe's daughter Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Sergio Aguiar's girl Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, were killed at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport last July.
