'They made diagnosis seem less scary' - murdered York schoolgirl's brother on mission

BROTHER of murdered York schoolgirl Katie Rough is taking on a challenge to raise funds and honour her legacy.

Just over eight years after Katie’s tragic death, Kieran Rough is planning a skydive to raise money for a cause close to the family's heart.

Kieran said: "Many of you have already supported #teamrough - Katie's legacy set up after my seven-year-old sister was killed in 2017.

"My mum Alison has had several health issues since then. One of them was being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis last year.

"The MS society has been a godsend for us, they have made mums diagnosis seem less scary.

"They also have regular coffee mornings and other social outings and meet up for ms patients but also for their carers to have a little respite.

"They also help with work and benefit issues.
