A Sunderland boy living with a rare form of muscular dystrophy has finally been able to enjoy his local play park following the installation of a wheelchair friendly swing and roundabout.
Nine-year-old Will Calvert, who lives with Duchenne MD and is subsequently bound to a wheelchair as a result - meaning he was unable to make the most of Hylton Castle park's apparatus. However, following a year-long campaign from his auntie Angela Turnbull, two brand-new pieces of equipment for the less abled have been installed - meaning Will can have just as much fun as the other children.
Works for the swing and roundabout began just last month, being completed by Sunderland City Council roughly a month after the process began - and Will has wasted no time in getting down to the park and making the most of the new apparatus.
