HANNAH Amy Lavell who is 21-years-old and lives at Burdon Grange Care in Highampton enjoyed an experience of a life time on Monday, May 21.

Hannah, who is wheelchair bound and lives with cerebral palsy, carried the Olympic flame through Ilfracombe — and along the way rubbed shoulders with Olympic Gold medallist Jonathan Edwards!

Jonathan, who won his Olympic Gold Medal for the triple jump in Sydney in 2000, took time out to pose with Hannah and the rest of the 26 strong group of residents and staff members who travelled up to Ilfracombe to cheer her on.
