‘They’re the most lovely people I’ve ever met, the whole group. There wasn’t one person I could ever say one single bad word about. They were amazing.
‘Without them, I would never have survived. They really have helped me. They pulled me up hills, they’ve dragged me through the water.
‘They’ve been pushing me; “C’mon Harry get up, you can do it”.’
