The winner .. Adam Holland
This what what was said about him: "I have never met a young man (23), who does more to help children than him, he had two jobs, one is with a school as a lunch time assistant, but he also helps out with sports and is loved by so many children. The other is with Pillars.
He is nearing his 100th marathon in October and at the moment he is raising money for Plymouth hospitals.
He even gives up his spare time and gets the local kids and parents in Tavistock, to jog or walk a mile around the park every Wednesday."
