A woman whose daughter has been missing for six years says "every day is a rollercoaster" - as she tries to stay hopeful and does anything she can to keep her child's name in the public eye.
Andrea Gharsallah's daughter, Georgina Gharsallah, a mother of two, vanished in March 2018 and was last seen at a corner shop in Worthing in West Sussex.
Speaking to
The UK Tonight with Sarah-Jane Mee, she said: "I've run marathons, done walks, anything just to keep her name out there. If I don't do it, who will?"
"I do become frantic sometimes," she admitted.

Next week is the sixth anniversary of her daughter's disappearance, and she said she always marks the occasion, to make sure Georgina's two sons remember their mother.
She may let off balloons or something similar with her grandchildren, "just to keep the hope alive".
The boys, who live with Andrea, "want to know why she [Georgina] hasn't come home", and sometimes talk about things they'll do "when mum comes home", Andrea said. "It's hard to hold on to the hope."
Police, she said, have taken thousands of statements in the search for Georgina, but to no avail.
They don't have regular meetings and we are "just waiting for a member of the public to come forward with information".
Her case is not unusual, as someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK, according to the charity Missing People.
