Pride of Britain Awards: Thursday's Anglia region finalists

Earlier in the summer we asked for your nominations as we began the search for this year's regional winner for the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain ITV Fundraiser of the Year Award.

This week we will be revealing each of the finalists, four across the east and four across the west of the Anglia region.

A winner for east and one for west will be announced on Friday.

Today we meet Emma Rule from Barrington in Cambridgeshire.

Emma has made a huge difference to the lives of homeless people with music events she has organised across the country which have now raised almost a hundred thousand pounds.

Our second finalist from the east of the Anglia region is Gary Bennett from Lowestoft in Suffolk who dedicates his life to raising money for cancer research.
