Paralympic Torch relay

I started the Harping On blog back in January 2011 as part of a grade-1-a-thon to raise money for Spinal Injuries Association and in support of Guy Llewllyn who had suffered an injury in 2010. While the main grade-1-a-thon only lasted for two months many of us continued with our new challenges and the Spinal Injuries Association of course have to keep going and continue raising funds for their on-going work. However it is often possible to look back and reflect on past work and today Guy is a torchbearer in the Paralympic Torch relay. Guy posted a message on a social networking site thanking everyone for "messages of support and kindness" and also mentioning that the grade-1-a-thon and money raised from that was just one reason why he was nominated by the SIA. I hope he won't mind me quoting him here but he finished by declaring: "So a flame not just for the Paralympic movement, but for all the unsung heroes who help and support the disabled every hour of every day."

Guy will probably be setting off at around 5pm in Tower Hamlets. There is a tiny bit of information here:

as well as information about the whole relay which started last night at Stoke Mandeville Hosiptal.

I was hoping to go but haven't made it down to London today but wish Guy and the rest of the torchbearers all the best for their part in today's relay.
