Story

On the 24th of May 2020 myself (Sarah) and my friend Laura will be walking The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. I’m wanting to do this not only to challenge myself but to help raise awareness and raise funds for the charity Papyrus in memory of my beautiful friend Bethany. Bethany died to suicide last year. We never know who is struggling, a smile can hide so much.  


Papyrus not only helps support those suffering with suicidal thoughts but is also for those bereaved by suicide.


Many will know that last 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. 


So through fundraising and our collective team approach we aim to continue Beth’s work and help others in any way we can #WEARETEAMBETH
