A 10-year-old Cockermouth boy has been recognised by the Prime Minister for his outstanding efforts in raising suicide awareness.
Shaun Mayall, a pupil at Fairfield Primary School, has been given a Points of Light award, which highlight people making a difference in their community.
Shaun lost his dad, Andy, to suicide in 2014 and decided to honour his memory by challenging himself to run 10k.
Andyâs birthday would have been on February 20, making the Prime Ministerâs recognition this week even more poignant.
As a result of COVID-19 restrictions, Shaun has been unable to complete the challenge due to take place in December at his school.
