VIDEO: Boston Standard Sports Awards round-up
Joshua Wilkinson scooped two awards at the Boston Standard’s Sports Awards – with the eight-year-old claiming the Sports Personality gong as well as the Overall Achiever Award.
The youngster picked up the accolades after completing a 140 mile coast to coast cycle ride from Whitehaven to Tynemouth with friend Wayne Hucknell – raising £7,163 for the Pilgrim Hospital Children’s Ward.
This came after the hospital had treated him when he suffered from chicken pox and double pneumonia. He also has severe asthma attacks.
The awards were handed out at a ceremony held at the Pilgrim Lounge last night, with headline sponsor Oldrids and Downtown.
