	Name: Aimee Yates Age: 38 From: Cambridge  Nomination Story: Thousands of people across the UK suffer from eating disorders and I would like to offer them hope of recovery. I was seriously ill with anorexia spending 16 months in hospital. I am still recovering but would like to encourage others. On leaving hospital my G.P referred me to a gym and I was so weak I could only walk on the treadmill. A year on and I go to the gym 3 times a week and love sprinting on the treadmill. I enjoy being stronger and being able to use my body again. I would like to do all I can to raise awareness of the devastaing effect eating disorders are having on people's lives and let people know that help is out there and recovery is possible. Eventually I would like to set up support groups for sufferers in my area so people feel less alone and can have some support and guidance as they seek recovery.

He was 3 ½ when we received the devastating news that our beautiful son had suffered brain damage during his birth. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy and learning difficulties, it wouldn't stop him. Told he'd never play football for England he recently became British record holder for 5000m running with CP Sport. Alister, is now 20 and is proud that he has helped others by raising hundreds of pounds for charity, competing against able bodied athletes, and beating many.
