The first winner, selected on 27th May, was Thomas, a junior doctor who was nominated by his sister, and said: “Thank you to Eurostar for awarding me this prize, and to my sister, Rose, for nominating me! These past few months have been exhausting for so many people within healthcare and those supporting us to live our lives differently. I am really looking forward to taking a relaxing break on Eurostar as soon as we get back to some form of normality. Thank you.”

Richard Sherwood, Director of Customer Engagement, Eurostar, said: “Throughout the coronavirus outbreak, we have been inspired by the stories we've seen amongst our communities. We hope that by providing the chance to win a Eurostar trip, we can help people thank the heroes that have made a difference to them over this challenging time.”
