A YOUNGSTER with a congenital neuromuscular disease has finally got the wheelchair she needed after finding her NHS standard chair far too heavy.

Thanks to donations from Knaresborough Lions and Rotary clubs, plus a private donor, Amelia Beaton now has a wheelchair perfect for her needs.

She picked up her new wheels from Yorkshire Care and her mum Lisa Beaton, said: “Amelia loves her new wheelchair because it’s so lightweight, she can push it herself.

“It’s a joy to see her in it.”
