The extremely sad suicide of 14 year old Molly Russell and other young suicide victims is the focus of debate of a new “self harm” bill in Parliament.
One young lady has been determined to bring awareness and funding to the young suicide charity- Papyrus. Emily Cossey says “this is close to my heart” and I want to help Papyrus in any way I can.
This summer, Emily organised a charity bike ride around London visi8tng all the underground stations on the Central Line, and this week taking part in a “wing walk” on a plane in fight.
Next week, Emily takes her place on stage at the Miss England Finals, where she is hoping to talk publically about the charity.
Interesting Facts from Emily
“I was U16 Surrey Chess Champion, and I taught 18 novice men how to row in one year! I have also completed a wingwalk and a 91 km cycle to raise money for the prevention of Young Suicide, which is a cause that is particularly close to my heart. Aside from this, I have a massive passion for travelling and have visited over 30 countries! I encourage and inspire others to travel and embrace charity work through my Instagram @emily_cossey “
