Story
**************In Memory of Lizzie Pincock************
** For those of you who don't know, on April 12th last year one of our best friends and truly one of the most amazing people we have ever known was tragically killed in a bus crash in Ecuador.
** Lizzie Pincock was part of a group volunteering for VentureCo, a gapyear charity. Along with four others; Becci Logie, Indira Swann, Sarah Howard and Emily Sadler; Lizzie's all too short life was tragically taken away when a lorry crashed into their bus.
** Lizzie was one of those girls who everyone adored. She had that unique ability of making each and every person she spoke to feel like they were the center of her world. She was extremely talented, an excellent sportswomen, a spectacular musician, a stunning actress and an amazing friend who had set off on the adventure of a lifetime.
** The girls were only in the third week of their gap year adventure, traveling to the town of Puerto Lopez to do some volunteering. In their memory, the friends and families of the five British girls have set up BISEE BOOKS, a charity that aims to increase reading in the various villages in the Puerto Lopez region of Ecuador.
**In April the families of the girls flew to Ecuador to set up the first of many book corners in the memory of the five, very special girls. BISEE BOOKS is a small charity set up underneath VentureCo. This means that VentureCo cover all administration costs ensuring that all money donated to BISEE BOOKS goes straight to Ecuador to be spent on the reading corners and eventually a book bus that will travel around encouraging reading in remote areas of Ecuador.
**On April 12th last year the world lost one spectacular girl and we lost a best friend**
---On the 11th of October Amy and I are running the Leicester Half Marathon in Lizzie's memory---
