As spokes person from the news channel said: ‘This week we’re celebrating some of the Midlands’ unsung heroes. Every year we select someone to represent the Central region, in the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Fundraiser category. We asked you to nominate someone that you felt went above and beyond to help others. It was a mammoth task, but we managed to whittle the list down to four individuals who fitted the bill’.

We are so excited that Mary was nominated and her work at the Rosie May Foundation has been recognised in this way.
