Tonia Gomez

I nominate my sister to be our town's Torchbearer. She has been a source of inspiration and strength to those around her for the past two years; not only has she finished her final year in BSc Sports Development and Coaching Sciences, held down two part-time jobs, continued baby-sitting for a neighbouring family and their two children, helped out our next door neighbour as she looked after her ill mother, she has also been at our mum's side as she has battled and won her fight against cancer. My sister has never complained, thought it too difficult or said no to those who have come to her for help. She will always go out of her way to give her best and never make a show about it. She is the one who you know will stand by your side no matter what. I am so proud of her and this nomination is only a token of what she deserves. On top of that she is a sport's fanatic who loves anything to do with sport and I would love to see her carrying our town's torch for the Olympics!I failed a unit in my final year at university so have not finished my degree yet!
