Parents across the country were asked to nominate their real-life little heroes in the Paw Patrol Little Heroes Awards, the annual awards ceremony, now in its second year, inspired by the heroic pups from the much-loved CG-animated preschool series Paw Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nick Jr.
The consumer awards campaign driven by Spin Master aims to honour little heroes across the country who have overcome adversity, shown outstanding bravery or gone above and beyond for a friend in need.
Kaysey’s mum, Kelly-Marie, nominated her for the Skye Award for Courage (Skye is a fearless and smart Cockapoo who loves to fly in her helicopter or with the wings in her pup pack. She tries everything with a backflip, grace, and a smile.), telling the Bucks Herald:
“Kaysey has Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 and uses a power wheelchair. It’s incredibly difficult for me as a mum to watch her struggle with many basic tasks and lots of hospital appointments. However, Kaysey never complains about pain and refuses to let her condition bring her down. I am amazed every day that a three year old can be so wise beyond her years and take everything in her stride. She is funny, confident, articulate and everyone who meets her falls in love with her straight away! She is truly the most courageous person I have ever met and I am bursting with pride to hear she has won this award.”
Kaysey and her family will attend an exclusive awards ceremony on Friday 11th October with her seven fellow winners (The Rubble Award for Strength, The Marshall Award for Loyalty, The Rocky Award for Making a Difference, The Chase Award for Leadership, The Everest Award for Kindness and Friendship, The Zuma Award for Being Helpful, and The Ryder Award for Kindness to Animals) at The Park Plaza Hotel Westminster Bridge, where the winners will enjoy a two-night luxury stay.
The weekend will include the chance to meet some of their favourite PAW Patrol characters and all the winners are also being treated to an exclusive VIP shopping event at Hamleys toy store on the Sunday morning, including vouchers so they can pick out their favourite goodies before the store opens!
Finally the winners will receive tickets to Nickelodeon Land at Blackpool Pleasure Beach or Nickelodeon Adventure at intu Lakeside and Gloworm Festival next summer!
Daniel Thompson, Senior Marketing Manager, Consumer Products at Nickelodeon added: “We want to thank everyone for taking the time to write about all their little Heroes because every single one of the entries was special – we would have loved for everyone to win.”
Congrats Kaysey! :)

Aylesbury Vale toddler wins award for courage
A little girl from Aylesbury has been awarded for her courage.
Kaysey, 3, was honoured during a PAWfect celebration weekend in London courtesy of PAW Patrol, enjoying treats including a luxury weekend stay at The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London, and a VIP experience at Hamleys.
In a once in a lifetime moment, Kasey and her fellow little heroes got to help open the world-famous store alongside celebrity guests!
Kaysey was honoured with The Skye Award for Courage following a nomination from her mum in the second annual PAW Patrol Little Heroes PAW Awards.
Each of the eight awards is based on a heroic pup from the much-loved Nick Jr. TV animation produced by Spin Master Entertainment.
Kaysey's mum, Kelly-Marie, says:
"Kaysey has Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 and uses a power wheelchair. It's incredibly difficult for me as a mum to watch her struggle with many basic tasks and lots of hospital appointments.
"However, Kaysey never complains about pain and refuses to let her condition bring her down.
"I am amazed every day that a three year old can be so wise beyond her years and take everything in her stride. She is funny, confident, articulate and everyone who meets her falls in love with her straight away!
"She is truly the most courageous person I have ever met and I am bursting with pride to hear she has won this award."
The eight winners were presented with their awards at an exclusive awards ceremony generously hosted by The Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, where they enjoyed a two-night luxury stay.
During their stay, the children received their trophies, medals and certificates from TV favourites Nigel Clarke and Naomi Wilkinson and also got to meet their favourite Pups!
The two-hour celebration included treats such as face painting and balloon modelling, and all the children joined in the action-packed party games including the famous Pup Pup Boogie!
The delicious tea was full of PAW Patrol inspired goodies including decorated cakes and PAW print chocolates all specially created for the occasion by the Park Plaza chefs!
They were then invited to an exclusive VIP shopping event at Hamleys toy store in Regent Street, where they met the PAW Patrol characters and more stars who turned out to help celebrate the children's achievements. All the winners enjoyed a once in a lifetime moment when they helped to open Hamleys!
In addition to the fun-packed weekend, all winners also received tickets to Nickelodeon Land at Blackpool Pleasure Beach or Nickelodeon Adventure at intu Lakeside and Gloworm Festival next summer!
Jo Thompson from Spin Master, the global entertainment company who created the awards, commented:
"It was such a privilege meeting all the winners and their wonderful families and a joy to see all the children having so much fun at both the party and the visit to Hamleys.
"We'd like to thank all of the PAW Awards partners for helping us to make this such a special and truly memorable weekend."
Charlotte Yates, also from Spin Master, and who sat on the panel of judges said:
"We were overwhelmed with all of the entries, and it was a tough choice, but these eight winners stood out for us in the end."
Daniel Thompson from Nickelodeon added:
"We want to thank everyone for taking the time to write about all their little Heroes because every single one of the entries was special - we would have loved for everyone to win."
