We are doing this walk in memory of Leah Taylor. I’ve been friends with Leah since we met on our first day in nursery when we were two years old. She was always lovely and funny and daft. Unfortunately from her mid-teens, Leah suffered with mental health issues. Tragically, this summer Leah took her own life. Everyone who knew Leah is heartbroken. I’m doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks with my Dad in memory of Leah, to try and help her brilliant parents, Helen and Paul, and to raise some money for Young Minds.
