00:00 Our next medalist has been instrumental in helping various charities and good causes over a five year time frame.
00:07 During that time she has donated Christmas presents to children's homes, fund raised for care homes, and raised a stunning 36,000 pounds.
00:16 Please welcome Summer Willett.
00:18 [Applause]

00:50 It's amazing to be honoured like this and I'm grateful for everyone's support.
00:55 But I wouldn't be able to do it without my parents allowing me to organise and publicise everything so I'd like to say thank you to them in particular for helping me throughout all the years.
01:06 [Applause]
01:18 During COVID, Summer realised that the local seal sanctuary would lose income through its closure to the public and that the seals still needed to be cared for so she fund raised over a thousand pounds.
01:29 She also contributed to a local wildlife park, a firefighters charity and she continues today to raise funds for good causes.
01:36 Let's hear it again for Summer Willett.
01:38 [Applause]
