2012 L/Cpl Bettoney carries the torch

Our very own Royal Marines Cadet Bettoney carried the Olympic torch through Aylsham in Norfolk.

Aaron was chosen to carry the Flame in recognition of his inspirational determination to recover from a road traffic incident which left him with life-changing injuries. In 2009 Aaron was playing with friends when he was knocked off his bike and had to be airlifted to hospital with brain damage and possible paralysis. He was determined to be up and about as quickly as he could. Aaron lost the hearing in his right ear and suffers minor effects from brain damage, but has not let it hold him back. He achieved his karate black belt one year on, He has also been promoted to L/Cpl with the Royal Marines Cadets. Friends and family have been inspired by his positive attitude and ability to try anything.
