Ollie's nomination story

Ollie who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in August 2009. He went through Chemotherapy and intensive radiotherapy to the extent that he wouldn't grow anymore and his spleen would no longer be functional. You probably will get lots of cancer nominations but where I think Ollie is different is that he decided to stay on at school and do his A levels despite this very intensive treatment. He did feel very bad on most days but incredibly in January 2010 he sat his C1 maths exam and got 100%. He is and was an inspiration to all those around him, especially his school friends and family. Ollie is a very humble person and has also taken on leadership at his local youth group and inspires them in their life decisions. Ollie has recently taken up running and really enjoys this. To carry the flame would be an amazing pinnacle after all he has been through. There is no guarantee that the cancer will not return. Please please accept this nomination. Many Thanks
