A YORK shop helped two young boys raise money to buy three wheelchairs for Help The Aged in memory of their grandmother, who suffered from arthritis.
Alex Dale, aged nine, and his six-year-old brother Jamie, raised more than £1,500 in sponsorship when they ran a family fun run, linked to the Bath Half Marathon in March.
The brothers, who live in Bath, ran in memory of their grandmother Barbara Dale, of Hull, who died in January after suffering for about 40 years with arthritis.
Their uncle John Dale lives in Hull Road, York, and Halfords in the city sold the boys three wheelchairs at cost price to donate to Age Concern York, which keeps a stock of wheelchairs to lend to people who need them.
They also presented a cheque for £870 to Arthritis Research.
