I’ve been nominated for an award!
The Motors.co.uk competition to find the ‘Most Deserving’ local hero received hundreds of detailed and heart-felt nominations from across the UK. A panel of judges selected 11 to go to a public vote, and the winner will receive the gift of up to £10,000 towards a car, plus a £2,500 donation to the charity of their choice.
I am one of the 11 finalists and I am totally blown away by it all!
Phill Jones, commercial director at leading used car website Motors.co.uk, said,
“When we launched the competition to find a local hero we expected to hear about some special people. However, some of the stories we received were truly humbling and we’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness and dedication shown by the nominees. We’re very proud to be able to honour these remarkable individuals.”
Nominations were received from every region of the country. Some regions produced more than others, and some regions produced stories of incredible selflessness and generosity of spirit.
“Our judging panel were able to pick a selection of fund raisers, charity workers, carers and campaigners. They all have interesting and inspiring stories, have nominated amazing charities and all have great ideas of how upgrading their car would help their community work.”
A public vote for the ‘Most Deserving’ starts today (Thursday 23rd February) and will run into March, and I have been challenged to get the most votes possible.
You can vote for me HERE!
Not only will you be able to vote for me on my page, but you’ll be able to make a donation to my chosen charity Save the Children if you should wish to do so.
Voting for me could lead to Motors.co.uk donating £2,500 to Save the Children! How awesome would that be? I’ll also win some pennies towards a new car which would be fantastic!
I regularly raise awareness of the great work done by Save the Children, by promoting their fundraising campaigns on my website and blog and last year arranged a ‘Born To Play’ morning to raise funds for Save the Children. Born to play will be back this year and is going to be fantastic!
Save the Children helped 3 million children throughout the world through their health and hunger work in 2010. They run world-class programmes to save children’s lives and challenge world leaders to keep to the promises they’ve made to give children a brighter future.
A truly amazing charity that deserve all the support they can get.
