Liz’s 3-month London 2012 Olympic/Paralympic event

Not long after the London Olympics were over, the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games began. The Opening Ceremony took place on August 29 and the games ran for the next eleven days, until the Closing Ceremony on September 9. Around 4,200 athletes, each with some form of physical or intellectual disability, competed in 503 events covering 21 sports. Around 150 countries sent athletes to compete in the London Paralympics, and over 1,000,000 seating tickets were sold.

This is where Liz was involved for the last 3 months; she worked through ILuka for BP at the Olympics and then Paralympics as Team and Ops Manager for the One Day Programme. It was very diverse, extremely busy, long working hours but most of all incredibly inspiring!

Paralympics are now done and dusted, what an amazing job and what amazing people!

Liz hopes to be involved again in 2016.
