THE search has started to find 8,000 inspirational people to carry the Olympic Flame on its journey around the UK next year.
Residents of Warrington can nominate someone living in the town that has inspired them and give them their “moment to shine”.
It could be someone at a local sports club, school or community group – anyone can be nominated to represent Warrington.
It is hoped there will be plenty young people being encouraged to get involved.
From the start point of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay at Land’s End on May 19 May 2012, an average of 110 people a day will take centre stage by carrying the Flame during its 70-day journey towards the Olympic Stadium in London.
