VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

Helen Bacon, Pegasus RDA, Manchester

Helen is one of the founding trustees of Pegasus RDA and is a group coach and treasurer. Together with a couple of other key members, volunteer Helen runs the group day in, day out. Everyone who touches Pegasus RDA benefits from the immense effort and time Helen gives. She has been instrumental in all of Pegasus’s greatest achievements over the past year, and some of the region’s. In 2016, Helen was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Through gruelling courses of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, a lumpectomy and most recently a hysterectomy and appendix removal, she hasn’t stopped for breath. Without Helen, Pegasus simply wouldn’t be the amazing success it is.
