A BOLTON nurse has lent her support to a charity which gives vital help to people with spinal injuries.

Sailing, skiing, water skiing and parachuting are undertaken by the charity and Chris, of St John Boste Court, Bolton, regularly gives up her spare time to help patients achieve their goals and aims.

Support for Chris and the charity is already starting to make its presence felt.
