Fauja Singh – Torchbearer for London 2012

Do you know someone who is truly inspirational? Someone who always strives to do their best? This is your chance to give them their moment to shine.

With one year to go to the Olympic Flame arrives in the UK, London 2012 has launched the search for 8,000 torchbearers to take part in the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay.

They will be individuals whose personal stories will inspire millions of people as the 70 - day Relay travels the length and breadth of the UK .

Together with their Presenting Partners Coca Cola, Lloyds TSB and Samsung, London 2012 need you to help them find the Torchbearers. Find our more about nominating someone you know.

I for one will be nominating Fauja Singh – and hope that others do too.

So that Fauja Singh does not feel unsupported during his Torch Relay run – as he was when he ran with the Athens Olympic Torch in 2004 (only eight Sikhs bothered to come and watch him despite months of alerts to Gurdwaras), I would be grateful if people nominated me to run alongside him as his coach – of course.

Please forward this message to as many people as you can - thank you!
