Christine Greaves

Christine Greaves is my mother. She is a quiet, hard-working person that goes largely un-noticed by the many people she helps. Christine worked for 29 years as a 'sister' (nurse) for The Leonard Chesire Foundation - a national charity assisiting people with physical disabilities. Alongside the compulsary elements of the job role she regularly helped out in her own time with day trips, holidays for the clients and fund raising for the home in which she worked. A few years ago, at the ripe young age of 59, Christine completed the London marathon - raising around £1500 for The Leonard Chesire Foundation (she had not worked for them for quite some time but she wanted to help). Taking it a little more extreme some would say, at 60 years old, she then sky-dived from 14000 feet - again raising another £1500 for Leonard Chesire. I hope this nomination allows her to carry the Flame
