The greatest honour of my life and one I NEVER EXPECTED 🔥💙
Promoting the @Paralympics and the athletes who help make the movement such a powerful vehicle for societal change, is something I’ve been incredibly passionate about throughout my career.
Back in 2010, when I covered my first Winter Paralympic Games, I was the cameraman for @BBCBreakfast's @mikebreakfast as he ran with the torch through the streets of Vancouver. I remember thinking ‘wow, that is incredibly cool, I could only dream of….’
So, 16 years on, to have the opportunity to be one of just 501 Torchbearers from around the world to carry the Paralympic Flame, on its journey from Stoke Mandeville to Verona for the Opening Ceremony, was amazing.
There are thousands, if not millions of people who deserved this honour ahead of me, but it was an experience and memory which will stay with me for the rest of my life 💚🤍❤️
A HUGE GOOD LUCK too all of those competing in, or working on, the @milanocortina26 Paralympic Winter Games over the coming week 🙏
