On 21st June 2014 nearly 200 people gathered at the Pirelli Stadium for the second Children of Courage and Achievement Awards, which this year had a number of additional categories for the Arts and Sport.
Fourteen young people were honoured at the event and whilst all were worthy winners, out of the thirty six nominees inevitably some stand out. Eleven year old Kyle who has battled cerebral palsy all his life and Martha who is ten years old and remains happy and upbeat despite her daily fight with cystic fibrosis and the death of her father last year and Kaitlyn Bannister who is eleven who said she cares for her disabled mum "just because I love her". One of the special recognition awards was changed to a Joint Award to Dane and Aston Bradford-Disney as Dane donated bone marrow to his younger brother Aston when he failed to respond to chemotherapy to fight his leukaemia. Just some of the deserving cases which go to prove, as was the purpose in initiating the Awards with the Burton Mail, that there are children and young people in and around Burton who make good headlines but often do not get them.
