“It’s heartbreaking, I just feel that I just can’t understand how there’s so many young people out there struggling and I panic a lot these days that other people are going to go and take their own lives like Brodie did.”
She aims to walk through central London on 13 December, when it will be particularly busy with Christmas shoppers.
“So I’m really hoping by that point people will know that I’m coming, and know why I’m walking and know what Miles is all about.”
She thinks Brodie would be impressed by what she’s doing.
“I think she’d say, ‘You’re mad Mum,’ but I think she’d be proud of me – I hope she would.
“People keep telling me how proud she’d be of me. I really hope she would be.”
