Hinckley woman wins Unsung Hero at SPOTY

Denise Larrad was recognised for her voluntary work.

Hinckley volunteer Denise Larrad has won the BBC Sport's Personality of the Year "Unsung Hero" awards 

The 55-year-old, who carried the Olympic Torch at the 2012 games, was recognised for her efforts to get people across Leicestershire active. 

In her acceptance speech, Denise said: ""Inactivity can be more detrimental to your health than smoking. There are thousands of people up and down the country who are doing a spectrum of sports you can get involved with - so find out who they are."
