Shane's Motorised Scooter

On Wednesday, 15th October, 2008, the 4 wheel motorised Scooter shown , with swivel seat for easier access, was presented to Mr Shane Westwood on behalf of the Lions Club of The City of Liverpool and the Lions NSW-ACT Save Sight & Public Health Care Foundations.

Mr Westwood is 33 years of age and suffers from Progressive Multiple Schlerosis and is confined to a wheel chair.  The motorised Scooter will enable Mr Westwood to take his young son to school and do the shopping, so that he can be of assistance to his wife who has to work full time.

The total cost of the Scooter was $4,990.00 and which was partially funded by a grant of $2,990 from the Lions NSW-ACT Save Sight & Public Health Care Foundations.

President Ollie Lassen and Liverpool Lions Members are truly grateful to all those who subscribed and helped bring this worthwhile project to reality.
