Lolo

Lolo is a work colleague.  He was a torchbearer for the Paralympic games.  As you can see from the picture, he treated us with the opportunity to get a picture with him in his torchbearing gear. He was given the honour of  carrying a torch because of all the fundraising he has done for our employer, Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, which is a national medical charity.  He raises money for the hospital by running the London Marathon.  My US followers might be unaware that the London Marathon is actually the world's largest fundraising event (£450 since 1891).  If you happened to see Run Fatboy Run with Simon Pegg and Hank Azaria, the marathon depicted in the film gives you a bit of an idea of the atmosphere of the London Marathon.  Anyway, Lolo has run many many marathons and raised much much money doing so, all for RHN.  It is an honour to work with him, and it was an honour to get my picture taken with him.  He even let me touch his torch.
