Samuel Day, who has cerebral palsy, is joining in with all his family’s activities thanks to Somerton & District Motorcycle and Light Car Club. Every year the club gives money raised at a charity motorcycle trial to a good cause and this year Samuel, 12, from Wincanton, was given £500 to help cover the cost of an X-Rover all-terrain buggy.
The buggy, which can be attached to a bike to allow family cycling trips, helps make everywhere more accessible so that Samuel and his family can be active together.
His mum, Katie, said: “We can go bike riding, walk through the woods, go to the beach and explore the coast as a family. It has made it possible to do so many more things outdoors together.”
Samuel is pictured (front) in the buggy with his sisters Pippa and Molly, and mum Katie, with, at the back (from left), Emily Boulton from the club, Samuel’s dad Jamie, Charlie Pattison from the club and club chairperson Sylvie Pattison.
