Pride in Medway
Do you know an unsung hero?
It could be someone who spends countless hours caring for others.
It could be someone who gives up their spare time to run a
community group.
Maybe you know someone who shows immense personal bravery in
difficult circumstances, or a worker who goes above and
beyond the call of duty.
We know there are lots of people like this and we want our readers
to tell us about them as we launch this year's Pride in Medway
awards.
Last time, we received dozens of nominations which proved there are
many fantastic people living in the Medway Towns.
Last year's overall winner was Jo Balk, 18, who stood out for her
years of service to Medway Youth Parliament and the mature way she
has campaigned on young people's issues.
Also nominated last year were Keller Williams, nine, who fought a
brave three-year battle against leukaemia; Joshua Cotter, who was
only six when he went to his mum Rebecca's rescue after she
collapsed at home and Gary Thorp, 11, who was praised by his family
for the way he copes with Asperger's syndrome.
To nominate someone for Pride in Medway, simply fill in the form,
tick the appropriate category box (one only please) and send it to
the address on the form.
