Story

Many will know that this year on 22nd April 2019, we lost our beautiful girl Beth to suicide. She was our brightest star and her death has torn our worlds apart.  Beth was only 26 years old when she died and we miss her so much. 

Suicide has crashed its way into our world and we want to  remember our girl Beth and help make a difference. Beth touched so many people in her short time on this earth, both personally and professionally as an occupational therapist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. She was a passionate and proud Occupational Therapist  and loved her job, working to make a difference and help others especially her elderly patients and their families. Beth always wanted to help others and she definitely gave more than she took from life. This walk will help raise money for such a vital area of work, to help more young people and this  #HopeWalk is our way to do something positive out of such a tragedy. 

So please even if you can’t join us make a donation for this amazing charity. 

If you would like to join us on the walk we ask for you to let us know that your participating on the walk and we need a minimum deposit of £15 for a tee shirt. 

 The walk is a fairly flat route to ensure walkers and none walkers can participate, including children and doggies.  The 9k walk will be starting from Horbury heading to Newmillerdam, Wakefield. 

Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under 35 in the UK. PAPYRUS is the national charity for the prevention of young suicide and believes that many young suicides are preventable. 

Thank you.
