Aden's nomination story

aden has a learning disability, he is a fantastic swimmer, and has won over 200 medals in the Special Olympics, he has fought through his disablity all his life, and volunteers 3days weekly helping senior citizens, he has swam the Swimathon for the last 8yrs for Cancer relief, he does charity swims at least four every year for local charities, he has won the Diasbled Sports award 3 times, he helps anyone in the community, aden has received the Good Citizen Award from our local Mayor for all all the careing he shows to people less fortunate in the community, he was a volenter at the commonwealth games in manchester and worked 9hrs intead of 5hrs daily, he also carried the games torch through Warrington, this young man tries daily to help people in our community, he also helped to train Doctors on the best way to communicate with Disabled young people,unfortunatly last year aden was quite poorly, but yet again fought through, but his confidence took a real bad knock, he isokay now but I feel a chance for him to be involved with the Olympic Torch would mean the world to him, and be an abbasador for young Disabled people. Aden does not ask for any rewards for the charity work he does, and that is why I hope more than anything that he is allowed to be part of this honour, Aden also has his Young Sports Leader Award. He also loves to sing, and Won a local Talent Show for Disabled singing Any Dream will Do from Joseph. I do think this young man deserves to be nominated. thanks
