Rotarians carry the Olympic
torch

Rotary News -- 24 July 2012
In 1958,
Bob Izon ran the mile in world-record time in the under-16 age category,
becoming the English schools champion.
But the
most meaningful run of his life took place in May, when the founding member of
the Rotary Club of Hereford Wye Valley, Herefordshire, England, carried the
Olympic torch through his hometown.
Izon is
one of several Rotarians who have carried the torch on its relay to the new
Olympic Stadium in London for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics
on 27 July.
“I
consider myself very fortunate to have been chosen, as half the bearers are
ages 15 to 25,” he says. “It gave me a chance to pursue three objectives:
inspire the younger generation, publicize Rotary’s good works, and show that a
diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease does not always condemn one to a nonactive
life.”
Parkinson’s disease
Izon was
diagnosed with the disease in 1992 but has remained active as a Rotarian, a
justice of the peace, and a school board member at St. Paul’s Church of England
Primary School in Hereford.
The
school’s students and their parents lined the road on 24 May for Izon’s portion
of the torch relay. Members of his club bore a huge banner publicizing Rotary
and their upcoming charity duck race. During an all-school assembly the next
day, students spent more than two hours taking turns holding the torch that had
carried the flame and having their photographs taken.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE

The Olympic Banana
Einstein developed a theory about space, and it
was about time too.
==================
Two female amoebas started to divide, and soon
one of them accused the other of stealing one of her digits. She said,
"That's my toe, sis."
======================
I just said to my friend, "Will you stop sending me
jokes by mail!
"He said, "Why?"
I said, "I don't get them."

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
ReplyDeleteIts very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
