Natasha Clark, from Wimborne, is one of the finalists in the Bravery category in 鲍鱼tv Radio Solent's Make a Difference Awards for 2024. This Award is for people who have shown outstanding courage, defiance and duty in the face of perceived danger, fear or difficulty.

Natasha was diagnosed with leukaemia just 3 weeks after giving birth to her son, Alfie. Whilst in hospital, Natasha wanted to use her experience to support others, so started a charity called LEAF (Leukaemia Educating And Fundraising). "Fast forward 18 years and Natasha has not only beaten her cancer diagnosis but has changed the lives of hundreds of patients and their families in Dorset and Hampshire. Natasha has devoted her life to helping others by providing emotional support and practical care including hospital visits and counselling. Her charity has also benefitted local hospitals, providing well needed equipment and specialised training for nurses. Her charity has raised over 拢900,000 which has made such an incredible difference to others in the community."

The Make a Difference Awards are your chance to say 鈥淭hank You鈥� and show recognition and appreciation for people who love to make life better for others. Nominations for the 2024 awards have now closed and finalists have been selected by a panel of judges. The winners will be announced at our 鲍鱼tv Radio Solent Make a Difference Awards ceremony in September.
