Can I have a wee boast?

The lovely head of DS's support unit nominated him for a "Diana" award for inspirational young people for the fundraising he did for his unit. He only raised a few hundred but did it on his own initiative and given his multiple SNs it was quite an achievement for him. I knew nothing about it until yesterday when he came home with a letter saying he had been awarded it. Nice to have some good news as we have all been really struggling recently.
