Ruth would be turning 18 on September 24th, and as I say every year, I wish more than anything I could give her a present, have a party, and do all the things you're supposed to for your best friend's 18th. I have set up this gofundme in honour of Ruth, and all profits go towards the Ruth Grace Foundation, set up by her parents Kate and Mark. This then goes towards causes Ruth was passionate about.

I don't doubt that many of you will have heard and or seen the recent news, and (as anyone who knew her could tell you), the very negative light shone on such a bright life. Ruth was such a caring, funny, clever and beautiful soul, who really would light up a room. But most importantly she is so much more than her death. To anyone and everyone who did know her, try to always keep hold of the good times, and remember her for the incredible person she was.
