A hospital worker who showed the commitment of an Olympic athlete to lose half her body weight and transform her life will carry the Olympic Torch on Monday.
Michelle Lay-Flurrie, 34, of Barkerend, who works as a technician in the plaster room in orthopaedic out-patient department at Bradford Royal Infirmary, was nominated for the honour by her proud dad, John, and will complete her leg of the relay in Dewsbury.
Michelle, who is a member of Fagley’s Slimming World group has lost eight stone ten pounds.
Her dad will travel up from Dorset to watch her carry the torch, and she will also be joined by a few of her friends from the slimming group.
