John Williams

John Williams is 68 but for five days a week he puts on his tracksuit and trainers and runs 5 miles ... and this is before he does his volunteering work at the YMCA in Castlefield, Manchester! For the last 20 years John has worked with disabled people in the gym teaching them to maximise their abilities, whether that's jogging, cycling or swimming. He has been a volunteer for Henshaw's Society for Blind People for 15 years and week in week out he supports people who are blind or visually impaired. He is a real inspiration and I know that he would be proud to carry the flame .
