There are hundreds of thousands of people across the UK who are inspired by London 2012 and are helping to make sure the Games will be a fantastic success and BT wants to make sure that these people are recognised.

No matter how big or small their role – whether it’s a teacher ensuring their students learn about the Olympic and Paralympic values, a student volunteering their time to help others engage with the Games or a minibus driver taking future athletes to training – BT wants to hear about them.

London 2012 Board member and Olympic gold medalist, Jonathan Edwards has nominated Rob Young. Edwards said: “Rob is one of 12 nations and regions coordinators who work across the UK to ensure that London 2012 really is everyone’s Games.

“The coordinators do a wonderful job of delivering a range of existing projects inspired by London 2012 and Rob exemplifies the hardwork and commitment to ensuring that whether you live in Manchester or Margate, people across the UK have the opportunity to be inspired by London 2012.

“His enthusiasm, strategic thinking, relationship building and desire to ‘just do’ are simply first class and thousands of people from across the North West have had the opportunity to be touched by the London 2012 magic dust because of it.”

London 2012 Chair, Seb Coe has nominated World Champion gymnast Beth Tweddle, Chris Hoy has nominated the Team GB Cycling technician, Tony Robinson, whilst Ade Adepitan has chosen Owen McGhee, founder of the charity The Association of Wheelchair Children.

Anyone can vote for their favourite everyday London 2012 hero and the winner will receive £5,000 and have their portrait taken by a world renowned photographer, which will go on display in the National Portrait Gallery.

So who are you going to nominate?
