Misha, 20, Kishor's daughter, got her chance to carry the torch by being nominated as one of two "exceptional individuals" by Independent Retail News as part of Coca-Cola's Future Flames campaign. Separately from the Coca-Cola nominations, Gary Bilbrough, manager of another Nisa store in the group run by Kishor applied and was selected to carry the torch. “We are a very community-focused store and Kishor Patel organised a coach for our customers to come and see me run,” said Gary.
