On behalf of myself, Mike's Mum,Floss, his brother, Nick and cousin Wojtek; I just want to say how proud and delighted we are that Wyre Forest Council has taken up the idea he had to copy the Polish City of Gdynia with its " No Barriers" Award for organisations, businesses etc. who go the extra mile to help people with any type of disability. This award; The Mike Oborski "No Barriers" Award is a superb living tribute to everything Mike stood for. Particular thanks to the Mayor of Gdynia for allowing us to use their logo!
