You can help light the way for the Paralympic Games over the August Bank Holiday 24 – 29 August.
Next week the London 2012 Olympic Games begin, which marks just over one month to go until the Paralympic Games
How you can get involved in ‘lighting the way’
Over the August bank holiday, Flames from our four nations’ capitals will travel to Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympic Games were born. On 28 August, they’ll join to create the Paralympic Flame. This Flame will then travel through the night from Stoke Mandeville to the Paralympic Opening Ceremony in London
London 2012 are encouraging communities and sports clubs (& Churches) to show their support for some of the most amazing athletes on earth by making their own lanterns and attending Flame events. 15,000 people are signed up so far, and they are planning Light a Lantern-themed celebrations across the country.
