Newport’s Emma Webb to trek to Birmingham with horse statue

“I didn’t quite know what to say when he appeared and shouted ‘Boo’.”

Ms Webb has a campaign running called DoItForBrodie, where she has decorated horseshoes with charms and poems, as well as QR codes to a website which provides links to charities.

“I tend to put them in hotspots where people have taken their own lives, in the hope that somebody might take a second look and scan the code,” she said.

Her fundraising and campaigning has led to her becoming a finalist in the creative fundraiser of the year category for the GoCardless JustGiving Awards in September.

Pascale Harvie, president and general manager at JustGiving, said: “Since losing her daughter Brodie, Emma, has tirelessly fundraised in honour of her life and we are proud to shine a light on all of her important work at our awards ceremony in September.”
