Thieves steal cash being saved to help disabled child walk
  • 5 years ago
At about 2.15am last Monday, two thieves broke into Shireway Community Centre in Yate and stole about £1,400 collected for the Corin's First Steps appeal. The charity is trying to find £35,000 for three-year-old Corin Potts to have a life-changing operation to help him walk, plus vital aftercare. Corin was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was 18 months old and cannot walk unaided, relying on a walking frame or wheelchair to get around. When Scott Wright, who runs a charity helping children and families affected by cerebral palsy, and his fiancee Melissa, heard what had happened, they felt compelled to help out.
