About the solution
Suffering from cerebral palsy means, for Paul Doherty, that he depends on the use of either a wheelchair or a walker to his daily life.
As the snow appeared and the streets became covered in snow, he came up with an idea: he transformed his electrical wheelchair into a snowplough. To do this, he connected a rake to the front of the wheelchair.
This allowed him to be able to help his family by clearing a path in the snow, despite his disease. After several hours of hard work, he managed to clean the street.
His mother, Anne Marie, said that ‘for children with disabilities, you have to instil as much confidence now, as I don’t want to think there’s anything they can’t do.’
