In October 2021, we featured a story about Liliane Cunliffe who raised over £1,200 for Epilepsy Society. She did this by walking 100 miles and became the face of the Charity’s Christmas campaign which raised a further £40,000. These funds contributed to transforming the lives of people with epilepsy through world leading research, advocacy and care. Liliane also wanted to raise awareness of Epilepsy in her local community as she has Epilepsy herself amongst other medical conditions.
Lilane was nominated for a Meritorious Conduct award by her Cub Scout Leaders at Crick and West Haddon Scout Group for all her hard work and fundraising.
The Meritorious Conduct award is awarded to those who have conducted themselves with a high degree of courage, endurance, initiative or dedication to the Scouts, often through difficulties, without necessarily involving any element of risk. The certificate is signed by Bear Grylls.
On Sunday 22nd May, she was presented with the award by Dean Smith, County Commissioner for Northamptonshire at Daventry and District Cub Camp at Blackwell Adventure near Bromsgrove.
Dean Smith said “It was an honour to present this award to such a deserving Cub Scout. She is an inspiration and fills me with optimism for the future.”
