Co Tyrone woman on her Machu Picchu trek for mental health charity after friend's death

A Co Tyrone woman took to climbing one of the ancient wonders of the world recently, raising thousands for a local mental health charity after the sudden death of a friend.

Jessica Crilly, 29 from Cookstown trekked to the top of Machu Picchu in Peru earlier this month, raising more than £12,000 for Aware NI in memory of Leigh McCracken from the Co Tyrone town.

She completed the four day trek with friends Grace and Cara, and described it as the ‘ultimate challenge’ for a good cause.
