Tom Sykes, from Mansfield, passed away at the age of 67
An "amazing" volunteer who died unexpectedly earlier this year has posthumously won an award from the MS Society.
Mr Sykes was the Mansfield group coordinator along with his nephew Ash, who lives with multiple sclerosis .The charity said the group has since flourished and become a place where people across the MS community in Mansfield feel connected. During lockdown, his weekly online quizzes had become very popular and kept people connected during a difficult time.Ash, who was diagnosed with MS in 2012, accepted the award on his uncle's behalf."Tom wouldn't be one to accept any recognition for the impact he's had on people's lives but he'd be smiling ear to ear. He's left a big hole in all our lives.
