Eyemouth wrestling show to raise funds for teen's life-changing wheelchair
A live wrestling show in Eyemouth will help raise funds for a life-changing power wheelchair for a local teenager.
Joelle Cowe-Lough, 18, was born with Cytomegalovirus (CMV) which has resulted in her having global development delays, cerebral palsy and being non-verbal.
So far, she has spent her life in wheelchairs however her family are now trying to raise £38,000 to purchase a power chair with a standing feature which would massively improve Joelle’s quality of life.
As part of their latest fundraising efforts, a live wrestling show will take place at Eyemouth Primary School on Friday, May 8 from 5pm – 7pm.
The family are also raising funds through an initiative where they sell mystery book packages.
So far, the community and businesses have rallied together to donate and purchase books, raising over £6000 in total. More information on can be found on the Reading Between the Wheels Facebook page.
