My Mum
My Mum – Linda Goodwin – is a truly unique person who always gives to others, but never thinks of taking for herself. She runs the local Mother and Toddler group in a village near York where I grew up and Mum still lives. Aside from this, she has looked after her parents almost full-time (Nana suffered from Alzheimer’s and Granddad has Parkinson’s). To add to this, my Mum helps run a local charity shop every Saturday and has raised thousands for York Against Cancer over the past ten years. Mum does all this with a smile on her face and a spring in her step. She has the kindest heart I’ve ever known and never expects recognition for going the extra mile. Furthermore, Mum’s battled ill health and divorce more recently, but this has never affected the devotion she shows towards other people. My Mum may not have cured a disease or climbed Mount Everest, but she has the rare quality of being able to listen to others and help them with her words and actions. She has improved the lives of so many people around her, never wanting for anything in return

From: Shalene Shimer
My best friend
Suffering from anorexia is one of the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But recovery is harder, I couldn't do it alone and I haven't. My best friend Katie has stuck by me every step of the way, she has never given up on me, she has made me smile on my darkest days, I love her and if it wasn't for her, I would have given up a long time ago. So thank you Katie, thank you for everything. Xxxxx

Sadly, we now live 100 miles apart and only get to see each other a few times a year but when we do its brilliant fun and just like the old days.

My husband Richard and my daughter Victoria
I’ve suffered from a variety of sudden acute conditions and long-term illnesses over the past 18 years, but the last year was particularly harrowing as I nearly died while on holiday in Greece. My husband Richard and my daughter Victoria have stoically supported me, tirelessly cared for me, continually encouraged me and unreservedly loved me throughout all of the dramas, despite the migraines and grey hairs that I’ve caused them. They deserve to share a relaxing spa day with someone taking care of their wants and needs for a change. I love you both so very much. xoxoxox From Carole Croft

From: Christina Turner
My Cousin
Without this crazy red headed fool I wouldn't have been able to bring up my disabled son at aged 16, as well as I have done. She has been my rock, my shoulder to cry on and my slap in the face when I've needed it. I often get praised for doing such a good job with him and if I'm honest I think she deserves some of the praise too.
From: Alice Baillie
My Best Friend
Lynn is always there for me - even if the timing isn't right, she's always got an ear and a shoulder. She consoles, cheers, sees me through tough days and encourages me on bright ones!

MY Husband
Over the last 2 1/2 years my health has deteriorated, he moved house to allow me to be near family and to an area he didn't know and it is now much harder for him to see his family. Through this time he has taken me back and forward to hospital, learnt how to steer through crowds with a wheelchair and he has never once complained. When I feel low he cheers me up. I'd love to give my rock a gift
From: Ursula Hunt

He has been a constant support, especially with our son who has special needs. He is an amazing dad.

And look at those eyebrows, they need professional help :)

Hubby you're not the best at jobs, You can't fix shelves or clean the hob, You're attached to the sofa when you come home from work. And seem to be obsessed with Captain Kirk.

From: Sharon Presley

As a result we've been saving / working lots & a romantic break is just what we need!

She is loving and giving and always tries to make me, her friends and the rest of her family feel good, even when she's having a bad day herself, she does her best to spread love and joy to others. She deserves a little tlc spa break in exchange! x

My Mum
My Mum is caring, kind and my best friend. I ring her when I am feeling low or in trouble and she is always spot on with advice. She's simply just a great woman.
From: Zoe Corbin
My Mum
The best thing about my Mum is her bravery and tenacity. She has been through so much in her life, including being left a single mother of seven kids when my Dad died, and being widowed again 5 years after. She never complains, and is always there for anyone. She's never got any money because she will invariably give her last pound to someone who needs it. My dream is to be in a financial position to look after her for a change. I'm not ashamed to say that she is my heroine and the person I look up to the most in this world. No matter that I am an adult and a mother myself, I am proud to say that: I LOVE MY MUM!!! PS - She's not perfect, I know that, like the fact that every piece of advice she has ever given me, (especially in regards to parenting), has been 100% spot on is pretty annoying!
From: Solange Thomas
My wife

From: Gary Roberts

He is my rock and bestfriend and has been for 34 years. We usually go on holiday for his birthday in November but we are not lucky. Last year our holiday was cut short due to the flood in Thailand and we were flown home early. This year we went to Iceland to see the Northern Lights and the weather conditions were not good, so no lights. Please change our November luck.

From: Mark Storey

Thank you my No.1.

My best friend Kim..... She is my best friend, my rock, the sister I never had. We met on our first day at school when we were just 4. Both crying and scared at the school gates our mums put us together, told us to hold hands and look after each other - and we have done ever since. Now 36 later and despite a road accident, marriage, children, careers, ill health and distance we are still the best of friends. She has had a really hard time of it lately with her mum who has been very ill and also with her job working with young children from troubled homes - Thank you Kim for being in my life - one thing I wish for my daughters is that they too can have such a special friend. It would be amazing to spend quality time with my life long friend who I know will always be there for me.

She's an amazing woman! Over the past few years, she's had to deal with having Depression and her Father being diagnosed with Terminal Cancer, and then with his passing. She has never gotten on with her own mother, but has never let that affect the way she is with her, and will always look after her, even more so since her dad died. She's a great mum despite all this & deserves a treat!

From: Nicola Winchester
My Beautiful Mum
My name is Mariah Arfan and I would like to nominate my mum! My mum has been through so much in her life; she has been a victim of domestic violence for a lengthy 18 years. At a young age, she had to come to grips with reality as she had an arranged marriage, which just like most arranged marriages, ended disastrously. With the aid of her dad, she was lucky to escape from her marriage and bring herself and her seven children back to safety. However, after this she suffered from manic depression, along with a number of anxiety disorders for a couple of years and I had never seen my mum hit such a low in her life before. Thankfully, my mum came out of her depression and decided to turn her life around and go back to her studies; which she had left behind as she had got married. She was hoping to get a degree and become a successful social worker. We were all so proud to see her determined and focused in life. The main reason that my mum wanted to become a social worker is because she wanted to help the people that suffer in the same field as she did previously, namely forced arranged marriages. She also used to attend local community facilities, just so she could help the community and get that extra satisfaction she was striving for. However, in the last year of University my mum chose to leave her studies and look after her dad as he battled with Prostate cancer, unfortunately, he lost his battle and the whole family went through more heartache. Furthermore, just 5/6 month after the death of her dad my mum was diagnosed with an illness. Ever since being diagnosed with the illness, her activeness in helping the community has taken a major setback. Due to the medication, she is constantly without strength. Even though she has health issues, she always put me and all my siblings before herself, and I would like to thank her by contacting you and ask for your assistance in bringing a smile to my mums face. She loves pink apples so I thought this is the perfect way of saying “Thank you mum! We love you” She is such a lovely, kindhearted individual and deserves much more than she has got so far. My mum is fantastic, has never given up on all of us when we have been at our worst.
From: Mariah Arfan
My Mum Linda
My mum is amazing! She is my best friend as well as the best mum and she deserves a treat. She works very hard and does long hours yet she is always there for her family and friends. She is the first person I go to for advice and I know that she will always have the answer. I would be totally lost without her and would like to give her a little treat to say thank you.
From: Katie Taylor

Last week I came home after spending 3 months in hospital. Kate is always there for me despite being poorly herself, whether it's a phonecall at 1am during a bad night, a cheerful card or little parcel being delivered or text messaged when I was too ill to be able to reply. I can't think of anyone who deserves a lovely spa trip than my best mate Kate! ---- Kate and I run the charity Post Pals (www.postpals.co.uk), every year we hold a party for seriously ill children and their families, the photo is of Kate and I after the families had gone home http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/vikkilouise/6053055bbf03ca58d6ed516f48bda37b.jpg

My Best Friend - Pam
She was my birthing partner through a very difficult and long labour. She sat by my bedside for the whole 3 days, offering comfort, kind words, assistance and practical advice in a very stressful and traumatic time. She has a family of her own to worry about, and her mum is very ill, but for those 3 days she was my guardian angel. I could not ask for a better friend.
From: Nicola Evans
My lovely mum
My mum has always been my best friend but when I was misdiagnosed with cancer earlier this year she was not only the biggest support I could ask for but she made sure I didn't get upset. She was a force to be reckoned with and got my results much earlier than expected, whist keeping the rest of the family going and running her newly started business. She's the most amazing person I know. ILY MUM x

From: Alison Turner
My Mum
My mum - diagnosed with cancer the very day my DS was born (2 years ago)- and she didn't tell me for weeks, in case of post natal depression. Throughout the radio & chemo she was always cheerful and helpful, never once complaining, giving me invaluable tips & hints so needed with your first newborn! Even when she lost her hair & felt rough and exhausted, sometimes too tired to hold my DS she put on a brave face (and her hair was so lovely). Thankfully she has made it out the other side, has hair as beautiful (if not more so), and celebrates my DS birthday with relish!!! During that time my dad was made redundant, twice & my younger brother has emigrated to Australia, and she is helping her sister cope with the fact that her husband has terminal cancer! She has had one hell of a couple of years but is still the funniest, helpfulist, compassionate mum nanny & best friend ever, an absolute Supermum - I just hope I could be like her in these circumstances!!
From: Yve Tyrrell

My sister
I nominate my sister. I live around 250 miles away and she has been there for my parents who are in their 80's, moreso over the last few months as Dad had an accident. She moved in with Mum whilst Dad was in hospital. She is coping remarkably well under the strain (has health issues of her own) and to be honest without her help Dad would have had to go into a nursing home to recuperate. He's now on the road to recovery and I feel it would not have been so soon had it not been for her help. She has also offered to help our aunt who has cancer, so that she won't have to spend her last days in a hospice. I know she will continue to be there for Mum when auntie's final day comes. It is such a comfort knowing that she is able to be there when I can't.

My number 1 is my amazing mum [smile] My dad has terminal cancer, currently in hospital after another chest infection and steroids iv to try and stop the bone cancer from paralysing him for the last few weeks/months of his life [sad] My mum is still working as there is not enough financial help for them, I have never heard her complain even once during the last 4 years that she has supported him through primary cancer, remission and then the dreaded secondary terminal cancer. Today for example she is working from 9am to 3pm as a career for the elderly, to then come home walk the dogs have a quick cuppa and off to the hospital until 8pm which is an hours drive in traffic. She has spent her life caring for others but never ever accepts help and is the most strongest wonderful person on the planet ( along with my lovely dad and husband [grin] ) Actually it doesn't matter if she doesn't win as its just nice to write it down and acknowledge how much I love her!!

My mum
Because she works so hard, and still finds the time to do so much for me, my brothers, and her grandchildren, as well as for everyone else. She's always thinking of others and doing nice things for them and she gets so little thanks and recognition. I think she would deserve this treat more than anyone.

My husband
I have a chronic illness and often use a wheelchair. There are times that I cannot even crawl to the bathroom but dh carries me to the toilet and back and unbelievably still finds me incredibly attractive. He lets me hide myself in him when im having an anxiety attack. When im screaming in pain, he rubs me, holds me, tells me funny stories and i know if he could take my pain, he would. He is my grounding. After losing my mum I felt lost and swimming in grief but he is there to carry me through. We face life together, he is my best friend and the most amazing daddy to out 2 wee boys. Our youngest son had meningitis and septicaemia when he was a few months old earlier this year. Dh made me laugh when he could see that I needed it and he unfailingly supported us all when ds being in hospital was taking its toll on my health. I'd give him anything in the world but it still wouldnt be enough to say thank you for loving me when I feel unloveable, for being a carer for me and for putting everyone in the world before yourself. If our sons are even half the man you are, then I'll be so proud

My big sister
Lorna has been so supportive through my pregnancy and the birth of my daughter. We had to spend the first fortnight in hospital due to complications and Lorna was in and out of the hospital to visit us and bring supplies. When we returned home she came to help by staying and doing night feeds as I was still recovering. She has been a huge support to me and my husband and a much loved auntie!

My mum
I would love to nominate my Mum. I had a really tough pregnancy and with a one year old to look after earlier in the year was very tough. My mum has been incredibly supportive and it's the little things that make a huge difference, always willing to wash up or iron despite hating both. She has helped sensitively without treading on my husband toes and yet making me feel so loved and special. My mum is an amazing inspiration to me and this year has been tough for her too not only helping me and my family but also coping with the deterioration of her mother with altziemers and facing redundancy head on. I only hope that I grow into being the amazing caring mother, daughter, grandparent that she is too.

My ex girlfriend Jemma
She has had a terrible last couple of months. Started with geting a new job, which meant moving cities. So she handed in her notice at her old job and went to find accomodation. After putting down her deposit, the new job management told her that she didn't have the job anymore due to not fitting in with requirements. So now she is left without a place to live or a job!

I've nominated my sister because no matter how much she is dealing with, in her work and personal life (and this past year has been a real humzinger for her), she always tried to focus on helping everyone else around her. She is a wonderful and supportive friend, a brilliant, fun and sparkling aunty for my children, my number 1 'cheerleader', and can always pick me up when I feel down.
