Make Me Mobile, a Border-based charity dedicated to providing wheelchair vans to those in need, is celebrating their first vehicle.

Melanie Ruggi, from Chiltern, will be getting the keys to her brand new Hyundai Staria, customised by Freedom Motors. For those who have been following Mel's story and Peter's cause, this is a day of huge celebration for the official vehicle handover.

We invite you to join us for this wonderful milestone. MC Kylie King, together with guest speaker Jo and charity founder Peter, will share the stories, tears and laughter which got Make Me Mobile this far...and the plans to grow even further.
