Alan Barnes fundraiser presents woman with mobility scooter

The fundraiser who raised £330,000 for disabled pensioner Alan Barnes has presented a woman who struggles to walk with a mobility scooter.

Katie Cutler, 21, who set up an online fund for Alan Barnes after he wasattacked outside his home has now reached out to help Danielle Rowland who suffers from Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.

Danielle, 27, lives with her partner Dean and has three children. She struggles with many routine tasks, such as taking her children to school. Her EDS affects her joints and makes walking around extremely painful. She also has Fibromyalgia which makes her skin hurt if she is even softly touched.

Katie, from Gateshead, has received over 80,000 emails since raising themoney for Alan Barnes. She says she was particularly touched by Danielle's story.

After phoning around to find someone to help, Katie was able to present Danielle, of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, with a mobility scooter donated from The North East Mobility Warehouse in South Hetton, Durham.
