KEY POINTS:
Former All Black Grahame Thorne is quitting Nelson City Council to look after his seriously ill son.
David Thorne, aged 20, suffered a stroke after being injured in a rugby match in Motueka nearly a year ago.
Mr Thorne told the Nelson Mail he had decided not to seek re-election later this year in order to move to Christchurch to be closer to his son.
