Thank you to The Argus and Seeboard for the absolutely wonderful evening at The Argus Achievement Awards ceremony at the Corn Exchange in Brighton.

We had no idea what to expect but from the onset of the evening, the staff had everything brilliantly organised and made us all feel at ease.

The drinks reception was a chance for many of us there to tell our stories and listen to others. There was never the feeling of competition, just a sense of relaxed happiness.

As for the dinner, again that was wonderful and the attention to detail, the colours, stage and backdrop made it so special.

There was a strong sense that everyone in that room was ordinary and yet extraordinary, from many walks of life and all humbled by the occasion.

As Nick Owen said, everyone in that room was a winner and the decision that all four children should win the Courageous Child Award was brilliant.

I have two healthy children and we all cried - along with most of the audience. Well done The Argus and Seeboard.

For us, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience we will not forget in a hurry.
