London 2012 mourns sudden passing of David Morris

The London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) today announced with great sadness that staff member David Morris passed away in hospital over the weekend.

David, 51, a lifelong champion of disability rights and inclusion for all, was External Access and Inclusion Coordinator in LOCOG’s Diversity and Inclusion team. He had been on secondment from the Greater London Authority since last year.   
 
LOCOG Chief Executive Paul Deighton said: 'David played a key role in our diversity and inclusion work right across LOCOG. He led on access and inclusion work and was committed to ensuring all of our clients had a great experience at Games-time.

'In particular, he pioneered the "Paralympic Inclusive Environment" which garnered widespread support across LOCOG and beyond. He was inspirational in every sense and was a great role model for disabled people and non-disabled people alike. He will be greatly missed.'

David was a regular blogger on the London 2012 website. Read David's blog posts
