After many weeks of anticipation we travelled down to Dragonmobility in Cambridge at the start of the Easter weekend to collect Elspeth's custom-built Snapdragon wheelchair. We were all very excited. As soon as Elspeth sat in it she asked "Can I take it home?". She has hardly been out of it since. Having a wheelchair with seating and controls designed especially for her has enabled her to access the world in a way we didn't really know was possible. She has been mischievous, defiant, creative and daring in using the wheelchair to enjoy life to the full. It has been quite an exhausting week! But an absolute joy, and even more so knowing that for the next few years, this chair will continue to help her to learn, participate and get a huge amount of fun and laughter from life. We are immensely grateful to everyone who has contributed towards, in her words, "my very own snappy".
These photos are some of the highlights from our first week with yellow snappy.
