Two City of Liverpool supporters will be hiking 120 miles along Snowdonia Way at the end of May in aid of mental health charity The Lee Cooper Foundation.
Chris Davies and Adam Thornley will complete the challenge in memory of Adam’s younger brother Lee, who sadly took his own life in February 2018 at the age of 17.

The Lee Cooper Foundation was set up in Lee Thornley’s name from the unimaginable grief which led to a strong desire for change; change in the stigma around mental health and a change in the support available.
The foundation acts as a bridge between our young people and the endless waiting lists for our underfunded mental health services.

Beginning on 27th May, Chris and Adam’s fundraiser will see them trek from end to end of the National Park in aid of this fantastic organisation, promoting the idea of exploring our surroundings to improve mental health whilst talking to loved ones.
Chris explained, “We think the nature of the challenge ties in perfectly with the great work the charity does. Getting outdoors, leaving the stresses of everyday life on the backburner, and enjoying the simpler things in life like getting out in nature or talking to a friend or family member”.

Lily Spendlove, CEO and founder of The Lee Cooper Foundation, added, “The Lee Cooper Foundation is a mental health foundation run by young people for young people.”
“I created TLCF after I lost my best friend Lee to suicide, in order to bridge the gap between young people with poor mental health and the existing statutory services.”
“Since starting in 2018, we now provide a wealth of mental health provision, varying in the type of support offered, and also of different intensities.”

“We aim to provide a safe space for young people ages 11-24 and we do this through our well-being hub in Prescot.”
“Young people do not require a mental health diagnosis, or a formal referral to access our support, any young person is welcome at TLCF”.
