Prince William Joins Bereaved Mother's Mental Health Charity Walk

Emma Webb, mourning the loss of her teenage daughter, is surprised by the Prince of Wales on her 160-mile trek to raise awareness and funds for mental health.

• Emma Webb, a bereaved mother, is pulling a life-sized model horse on a marathon walk from Chepstow, Monmouthshire to London to raise money and awareness of mental health after her teenage daughter took her life.
• Prince William unexpectedly joined Emma on day 13 of her 19-day trek of 160 miles in Slough, Berkshire.
• Emma's daughter, Brodie, was a promising equestrian, and her love of horses inspired Emma to drag the wheeled resin horse, weighing more than 30kg, to the International Horse Show.
• Since Brodie's death, Emma has pointed other young people towards help after they contacted her with suicidal thoughts.
• Emma has raised £30,000 in memory of her daughter through her charity site, 'Do It For Brodie'.
