Inspirational mum nominated by her daughter for Gwent's Best Mum competition

Lauren Williams from Brynmawr nominated her mum Carolyn because of her strength and the support she has given her.

In 2011 Miss Williams' brother Daniel died after he had a heart attack and stroke when he was 20.

She said: "It tested us all as a family but my mum and dad remained strong, even making the difficult decision to donate his organs. His organs saved four other peoples lives."

Miss Williams, 29, was pregnant at the time and after she gave birth to her daughter Libby her Mum supported her when they found out that Libby had a hole in her heart.

"My parents were my rock and remained focussed on supporting me and my daughter. They remained my support system throughout it all.

"She is our world and an inspiration and such a strong woman."
