The Lucy Rayner Foundation: Tess Lewsey Reports

Lucy Rayner was a beautiful, sensitive soul, a daughter, a sister, a diva, a perfectionist, a party animal, the list goes on. Lucy took her own life on the 5th May 2012, aged 22 years. No one saw it coming. She loved her family and friends but she didn’t love herself or her life, it was a struggle for her and she wanted some peace.

Following her death, her parents established the Lucy Rayner Foundation, to raise awareness of depression amongst the young. Tess Lewsey has this report.
