<p>On Saturday, there are just 1,000 days to go until the opening ceremony of the <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/sport/london_2012/">London 2012 Olympic Games</a>.</p>
<p>The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) has released details suggesting <a href="http://www.london2012.com/news/archive/2009-10/1-000-days-to-go-millions-joining-in.php">more than 5 million people</a> are now &#8220;involved&#8221; in the Games in one way or other.</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;re reading this, chances are you&#8217;re either one of them, or you know someone who is!</p>
<p>Whether it’s the <a href="http://www.london2012.com/get-involved/inspire-programme/index.php">Inspire Programme</a> looking at community projects, the <a href="http://getset.london2012.com/en/home">Get Set</a> programme in schools, the <a href="http://www.london2012.com/get-involved/cultural-olympiad/index.php">Cultural Olympiad</a>, <a href="http://www.youthsporttrust.org/page/nssw/index.html">School Sports Week</a>, or your company is working on the Games, it&#8217;s becoming clear than 2012 is having quite an impact.</p>
<p>So, tomorrow is time for London to celebrate this involvement in different ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>A Games-themed photography exhibition at the <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/95587">National Portrait Gallery</a>, called <a href="http://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/exhibitions/the-road-to-2012/the-road-to-2012-home.php">The Road to 2012</a>, featuring portraits of people working towards the Games</li>
<li>A spectacular firework display from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Tower">BT Tower</a> tomorrow night, including a huge LED banner count-down message on top of the tower. (Watch this from London&#8217;s hilltops &#8211; <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/607119">Primrose Hill</a>, <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/484397">Parliament Hill</a> or on the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/lottery/">BBC Lottery programme</a> from 8.45pm)</li>
<li>The London 2012 Corgi-made <a href="http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/news/949344/Hornby-launches-first-London-2012-collectable/">replica London bus</a> goes on sale tomorrow in <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/401397">Hamley&#8217;s</a></li>
<li>The limited edition <a href="http://www.adidas.com/campaigns/london2012/content/phase2/">adidas</a> t-shirt, with pictures representing all the Olympic sports is <a href="http://www.jdsports.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10551_12201_269172_-1_men">available to buy here</a></li>
<li>The Royal Mail&#8217;s <a href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-pictures/Olympic+2012+stamps+launch-latest.do?id=23371255&amp;page=1">2012 stamps</a> go on sale</li>
</ul>
<p>With just 1,000 days to go, all eyes are on the next step: the aquatic centre&#8217;s roof is due to be finished before the end of the year&#8230;</p>
<p>But, alongside London 2012, we want to know what you&#8217;re going to achieve in the next 1000 days?
