A SCHOOLGIRL who saved her pregnant mum’s life when she fell into a diabetic coma has been nominated for our Your Champions awards.

Merseyside Police awarded Prenton Primary pupil Abigail Snowden a special commendation after her quick-thinking actions last December.

The nine-year-old rang 999 after finding her mum Carla Livesey, who was three months pregnant, lying on the kitchen floor.

The situation was even more dangerous because a pan of boiling oil was on the stove.

Wirral News has teamed up with Scottish Power to highlight the good work of individuals or groups who have benefited the community.

The deadline for nominations has now closed and a panel of judges will decide who our winners are.

Our heroes and heroines will be honoured at a presentation ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Chester on Friday, November 18, where they will also be in the running for a regional champion of champions award.
