Awarded for Dedication To raising awareness of dementia

Hiya, I am so very humbled to have received this and was unfortunately unable to go (please read below how I was one of 70 out of 3,000 nominated, who have been invited to the Palace) because of my illness, but it doesn't take away how proud I am to receive this.

Please remember there is a dedicated team behind me who work so hard behind the scenes and help me make everything we do happen, without them, none of what we do would be possible but the most credit has to go to my incredible wife Elaine without whom? i would not be here. I have known for a couple of weeks but wasn't allowed to tell anybody until Friday 3rd June 2022 at 7.30 pm as you will read

It would have been an honor to receive this personally From Camila and Prince Charles, but it's now "In the Post " as they say lol

Huge HUGE thank you to Lesley Strzalko from my birth town of Bolton for kindly nominating me, so very kind

best wishes

Norrms
