THE mother of murdered York backpacker Caroline Stuttle appeared on national television today to promote her new charity which aims to help other young travellers.
Marjorie Stuttle, from Pocklington, launched Caroline's Rainbow Foundation in the wake of her daughter's tragic death in Bundaberg, Australia.
Its aim is to help other backpackers who get into trouble, by providing financial support through the Foreign Office in Australia.
Foundation volunteers will also go into schools to talk to teenagers about safety when travelling abroad.
Marjorie told GMTV and BBC Breakfast that she would make it her "life's work" to extend the foundation's service beyond Australia.
Thousands of pounds have already been raised following numerous fundraising activities in York.
