GRAYSHOTT woman Annick Hollins will carry the Olympic torch through Christchurch, Dorset, next week.

A member of Haslemere Border Athletics Club, Annick was successfully nominated through Coca-Cola by orthopaedic surgeon Dr Sophie West, for her passion for sport and her determination to get back to running following her diagnosis and subsequent surgeries for hip dysplasia in 2009.

She will carry the torch next Saturday, July 14, as it makes its way to the Olympic Stadium in London.
