Lina Al-Hussein

Lina is the most fun grown-up in the world. She approaches every day with a childlike enthusiasm & a desire to end it happier than it began.As the mother of 4 children I never take anything for granted and strive every day to bring a smile to their faces as well as those of everyone I meet. I hope the London Olympics will spread some of the special happiness that living in this fantastic metropolis amongst the children of the world especially orphans and the disadvantaged. I spend a great deal of my time doing charitable work for orphanages in Thailand and Iraq and would dearly love to carry the Olympic flame on their behalf. I think we owe these games to the children of the world that have not had an easy life so far and show them what the Olympic movement can achieve in bringing happiness and joy through this brilliant competition.
