The Torch Relay Lights Up Virgin Active

by Heather McKim

There are only 10 days left until London 2012 gets underway and the games are all we’ll be able to see, hear and breathe. Are you excited? We are!

To properly build excitement around the country in the run up to the Games, the Olympic Torch has been making its rounds travelling to within an hour of 95% of people in the UK being carried by 8000 inspirational torchbearers.  

Virgin Active staff and members were lucky enough to be involved in this relay on more than one occasion. The Torch made it to the VA Leeds Kirkstall Road club with member Alan Hutchinson, VA Lancashire with member Gary Bentley, VA Birmingham Plaza with member Leroy Henry, VA Nottingham with Club V staff member Amy, VA Bromley with General Manager Paul Goddard and VA Stafford with member Russell Cox.  A big thank you and well done to all the torchbearers who shared their great achievement with us!
