Story

On the 19th of September 2021, mine and my family's worlds stopped. Our gorgeous outgoing beautiful amazing talented girl Ellie had taken her own life, her funeral was on the 6th of October the day before her 22nd birthday. She left behind me, her big sister, her little brother, her nephew, her mum, her family & her amazing friends. 

A lot of you have followed my story and have seen how open and transparent I've been with how much I've hurt and struggled and as I'm writing this we're only 11 days away from a year without Ellie, the unfixable pain that is left behind by someone taking there own life is like no other. 

Papyrus is amazing charity with an amazing aim of the prevention of young suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional well being. Whatever we can raise together in Ellies memory for them will help so many people and hopefully stop another family being broken like ours. 

I've chosen to do this to absolutely push myself out of my comfort zone. I've got to train hard in the gym to get down to a certain weight and I'm also not the most amazing with heights! I've got to keep focused and know there's only one reason I'm doing this, for Ellie and all of the other people that feel like Ellie did.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for any donation given.
