WATCH: Variety Week: Cedar’s electric wheelchair

Cedar, from Salmo B.C., is in Grade 9 and uses a manual wheelchair every day. Because of Cedar’s short limbs, she is unable to self-propel her wheelchair, and needs someone to constantly push her. Variety provided funding for a power chair, which will allow Cedar the independence to get around on her own without help from an education assistant, or from friends or family.
