1 Comments on this postI've had a day to step back and reflect on what was, again, a fabulous London Marathon.
I never fail to be inspired by the effort and energy everyone puts in to making it a success. There's a special buzz that starts early morning and lasts right through the day: in true British fashion, this year even rain couldn't dampen spirits.

Steve, Head of Diversity and Inclusion, 20 April 2010
David Morris, a LOCOG staff member, friend and colleague in the Diversity & Inclusion team passed away at the weekend. We are all still shocked and saddened by his death. Dave was an outstanding individual in every sense.
He was a wonderful team member and raised us all up.
He was brilliant and challenging. Can we do better? Can we go further? Can we truly push past our personal best?

Tessa Sanderson CBE, Olympic Champion and Newham Ambassador, 12 April 2010
Last year the first Newham Classic 10K made history by hosting a run in one of the five London Host Boroughs (Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest and Greenwich). The event was a great success and we had over 1,200 runners taking part. The winner of the Newham Classic 10K in 2009 was from Germany who completed the run in 30 minutes and 14 seconds!

Kaycee, Young Mayor of Newham, 12 April 2010
One of the best things to come out of the 2012 Games for young people is the massive number of opportunities to get involved in projects around sport, enterprise, media and leadership, to name a few.
I was really proud to give my support to the nomination of ten fantastic young people from Newham, who have been selected for the London 2012 Young Leaders Programme.
Me (sitting on the table) with the chosen young leaders:

The Aquatics Centre is a sight to behold in this image, with the pools full of 10 million litres of water to check that they are water tight. As the project progresses it will take 180,000 tiles to seal and line the pools.

0 Comments on this postThe latest London 2012 Sustainability Conference began with an ODA bus tour around the Olympic Park site. Every time I see the Park I’m amazed at the amount of work happening in such a constrained space, and how quickly the Park is taking shape. The London 2012 webcams are worth a look to see the progress being made on the venues and the Olympic Village.
