Akabusi, now a motivational speaker, is hoping his motivational skills can get people involved in volunteering.

He says, "When I was training as an athlete, keeping myself motivated was the key to success. This is your chance to motivate others to get involved in volunteering, by organising your own Flashmob-with-a-Purpose! It's a great way to take part in CSV Make a Difference Day, and really make a difference in your community. Who knows, you may even be able to set a Flashmob World Record!"
