Rosamund's daughter Ella died in 2013 at the age of nine. She is still the only person ever in the UK to have air pollution registered as a cause of death.

Since then, Rosamund has been a relentless campaigner for improving air quality. She has helped change policy here in the UK and has a legion of international admirers that includes Arnold Schwarzenegger.

You can see why. Rosamund is impassioned but also reasonable and empathetic towards those who disagree with her.

She is a total inspiration.
