Norman Butler

BP is proud to nominate Norman to be a torchbearer. Norman has committed to various volunteer roles including: project manager (British Trust For Conservation Volunteers), supervisor (Gateway Club - a social club for people with learning difficulties), school governor, mentor (SMASH Youth Project - mentoring vulnerable young people aged 13-18 on 1-2-1 basis) and Territorial Army. He is always giving up us time up for others.In addition to these hands on roles Norman has undertaken numerous fund raising activities to raise thousands of pounds for the NSPCC, SMASH Youth Project and National Asthma Campaign. Events include: rowing across the Atlantic unsupported in a self built plywood boat (had never been to sea), bungee jumping (scared of heights), running the London Marathon dressed as a Pink Fairy (used to smoke 40 a day and couldn't run to bottom of his garden), triathlon (had to learn to swim), a boxing match (doesn't like hitting people), a parachute jump (had to be pushed out of the plane) and original stand up comedy routine at a local club (for a shy person such as Norman not so easy).
