A young man is taking on a massive 180-mile walk to honour his childhood best friend who died just months after being diagnosed with leukaemia. Harry Ashcroft, 21, is walking from Liverpool to Gloucestershire in memory of Hannah Elmes, who passed away in September 2024 at just 21 years old, after a shock diagnosis in February that same year.

Harry, who moved to Liverpool for uni, remembers the moment his world turned upside down. “I remember my mum called me and told me on the phone, and I messaged Hannah not expecting a response, but she replied. I couldn’t believe it”, reported Liverpool Echo.
