We're ready for challenge
A first class athlete helped launch the second of Royal Mail's London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games stamps at Newham Leisure Centre this week.
Docklands paraplegic table tennis player Jane Campbell, 41, from Limehouse, who is part of Team GB was there to celebrate her sport being featured on the new stamps titled On Track For 2012.
Ms Campbell said:"My goal for this year is to qualify for the 2010 World Championships in Korea in November, where I will be looking to get a medal. After missing out qualifying for Beijing, I am more determined than ever to represent Britain at the 2012 Paralympics.
"Our successes this year show that myself and partner Sara Head are becoming a very strong team and we will be going for gold in 2012."
The stamps are being issued to mark a key milestone in the countdown - two years to the opening ceremony in east London.
The commemorative stamps feature 10 images championing Olympic and Paralympic sports including hockey, goalball and BMX.
Royal Mail will issue 30 first class stamps in the run-up to the London Games.
