WIGAN Today

THE family and friends of a teenager who died have set up a charity in her memory.

Leah Davies, from Lowton, died following a motorcycle crash at Martland Mill last month.

Her family have now set up the Love Leah charity in her memory to help raise funds for a specialist hospital and rehabilitation centre that would have offered help to Leah had she survived her injuries.

Leah, 19 - who was an identical twin - died in hospital on August 5, from injuries sustained in the crash, which happened at Martland Mill seven days earlier.

Together with friends, her twin sister Sarah, sister Rachel, 21, mum Mandy and dad Andrew, together with friends - have set up the charity to raise funds for the Walton Centre.

Leah’s family said: “If Leah would have come through this tragedy then the rehabilitation and support needed would have been long and costly. With this in mind we have chosen a charity that will benefit other patients and their families who find themselves in a similar position.

“This Charity is The Walton Neuro Fund who specialise in this sort of care and rehabilitation.
