Lord Mayor's Appeal and Appeal Events
As the Lord Mayor of Leicester and first citizen it gives me great pleasure to support local Special Olympics athletes, as they prepare to take part in the 8th Special Olympics GB National Summer Games 2009, in Leicester & Rutland.
Do you remember Friday 13th July 2007? An historic day when Special Olympics GB officials at the Town Hall, awarded the 2009 Special Olympics Great Britain National Summer Games to the city and people of Leicester.
This is without doubt a wonderful opportunity for both the City of Leicester and Special Olympics GB. It is the one big moment in our city which can pull everyone closer together and leave a lasting legacy for people with learning disabilities – people with abilities.
I do hope the citizens of Leicester take this opportunity during my year in office to join with me to help in any way they can to get behind the Games either in a volunteer capacity, sponsorship & fundraising or a support role.
My appeal aims to assist city and county athletes with learning disabilities to be able to compete in these Games and to help celebrate & research their achievements. I do hope that you will give generously to support this most worthwhile cause.
I look forward to meeting you all during my year in office and to your support.
