THERE is just a week left to nominate brave heroes for a Vodafone Life Savers Award.

The awards honour the country's most inspiring rescue stories and are open to anyone who has saved a life in the past two years.

Vodafone UK spokesman Ally Stevens said: "It is humbling to hear first-hand so many inspiring rescue stories not only from emergency services but from ordinary people who, with no special training, acted on impulse and bravely risked their own life to save another.

"We are confident this year's awards will bring forward many more courageous and moving stories and give the unsung heroes behind them the national recognition they deserve."

Ten winning National Life Savers will be invited to London in November, where they will be congratulated by Prime Minister Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street.

The closing date for entries is June 25. Nominations can be made by calling 0870 9023333, visiting www.vodafone.co.uk/lifesavers or by emailing lifesavers@comms.aspectgroup.co.uk
