Seb Blount

Hello, my name is Sebastian Blount. I am 14 years and 9 months old, and have lived in the London Borough of Bromley all of my life. Like Lord Sebastian Coe, my family and friends call me Seb. Unlike Lord Coe, I'm not a good runner. I don't even particularly enjoy running when I have to do it at school. But I'd really like to run in the Olympic Torch relay next year. Why? Well, I was really excited when London won the bid, and I have followed the news about 2012 with great interest. But that's not the reason. I'd like to run in the Olympic Torch Relay because I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease this year, and I'd like to show myself and the whole world that it may be an incurable condition, but it doesn't have to stop you doing anything you'd really like to do.
