Geraldine - Interview 28
>>
For many years Geraldine found that finding a time when she could safely eat was almost impossible.
Geraldine was diagnosed in 1990. She was a single parent with three teenage children. She never-the-less succeeded in holding increasingly demanding executive jobs in the voluntary sector and was finally chief executive of the Charities Commission before retiring recently. And she is still working on many projects and committees.
