14/12/2005

We just wanted to say thank you. We will never be able to repay you or express how grateful we are to you for all the support and help. There would have been no one in the world that we would have had in preference to you to act for us.

John, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Six year old Hannah Olateju is one of this year's winners of the Woman's Own Children of Courage awards.

Hannah had to have both of her legs and arms amputated after developing blood poisoning having caught meningitis when she was three years old.

Her hobbies include dancing, swimming, and playing football, and she is an inspiration to all who have met her.

A trust fund has been set up for Hannah.

Donations can be made to Hannah's trust fund by writing to

The Children of Courage awards are in their thirty-second year.

Hannah was presented with her award by the Duchess of Cornwall along with ten other children at an awards ceremony at Westminster abbey in London today.

She met the Prime Minister and his wife as well as a host of other celebrities at the star studded event.

Partner Muiris Lyons is handling Hannah's clinical negligence claim of meningitis misdiagnosis.
