We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Beth Doherty, on 29 September 2026 due to complications following her stem cell transplant.
Beth worked with Out-Spoken for over a year on marketing and publicity and she was a light.
We are so deeply saddened and send our condolences to Beth’s family and those close to her.
— The Out-Spoken Team
