STAR Award 2006 - Volunteer – Janice Roselynn, Lowestoft

Sheer courage and determination to ignore her own suffering and focus on helping others, won Suffolk grandmother Janice Roselynn her award. One time carer Jan, 46, refused to give up helping others after she was struck down with a mystery paralysis which left her with severe mobility problems. In her role as Volunteer Support Worker at Shaw Trust Soap Works, Jan overcomes her own disability to prove herself a valuable member of the team who supports clients and colleagues alike. "She is an example to all who want to achieve great things," said Shaw Trust's Roberto Meneghello.
