And here's the link to the video Harry made to thank the doctors and everyone who wished him well after his accident and during his recovery, that earned him his award: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpT9cPv06lU

Each of the 8 winners of the award were given a 'front page'-style framed certificate and a cheque for £100!

Another awardee whom Harry was pretty chuffed to meet was former Chelsea FC footballer, now manager of Brighton and Hove Albion FC, Gus Poyet for his Contribution to Sussex Sport.
