I’m Tom I’m so thankful to be apart of something that supports mental well-being amongst my age group whilst also honouring Ellie who was on of my closest friends. I think this Ellie's Angels is so important as it helps normalize the constant struggles and pressures put on teenagers. This is something a lot of people my age can relate to and the fact teenagers are the focal point of this all is really special too. Working with Jody and the others to create this has been great and has given me an outlet to express my feelings whilst grieving the loss of Ellie - someone who inspired me so much and continues to do so everyday. She was a caring, selfless and  kind soul who always put others first but remembered to look after herself - something we are trying to share with others through this campaign. - that it’s okay to look after yourself and put yourself first sometimes and that’s it’s not selfish. Working on the App and seeing the process behind making it was really cool as exciting, I felt listened to with my ideas and watching it come together in such a short time made me feel proud that Ellie’s life is making such an impact - I know she’d be proud too.
I’m looking forward to continue to work with Ellie’s Angels and to watch the difference it makes amongst teenagers.
