Jay Popat won a great neighbour award last year after trying to save the life of a young boy who lived next door by administering CPR.
He has since started up an inclusive sports programme and planted a tree in the National Forest in Donavon's memory.
Jay said: "Being nominated and winning a Make a Difference Award has to be one of the proudest moments of my life, especially when I think of the circumstances that led to it.
"The award helped me come to terms with the loss of Donavon and inspired me to push forward with my plans to start up an inclusive sports programme.
"We have since held a wheelchair basketball competition for primary schools across Leicestershire and are working on plans to start a wheelchair rugby league too".
