About - Red Cross Humanitarian Citizen 2009

Vikki was told she had been short listed along with around 25 others for the Red Cross Humanitarian Citizen award and was invited to the Houses of Parliament. Each person there was presented with a certificate. After everyone had been given theirs they said there was one over all winner and when they called Vikki’s name out people noticed she went very white and looked rather absent for 5 minutes due to such a surprise!

Robin Wells from the Red Cross said, “Vikki works day in day out from her bed, giving Pals a reason to wake up each day and something to look forward to. She provides a listening ear for families and always remembers when a child has a scan or important tests coming up. She was chosen as our winner because of her continued determination to support others despite her own difficult condition.”  Robin Wells, Red Cross.
