PLYMOUTH, Pa. - Pride Mobility has donated a Jazzy Air 2 Power Wheelchair to Ann-Marie Kelly. Pride Mobility learned of Kelly's need after being contacted by the mother of 11-year-old Brian Lyons, her neighbor. Lyons had noticed that Kelly's power wheelchair was old and no longer reliable, and he decided to start a GoFundMe fundraiser and hold lemonade stands to raise money for a new wheelchair. Lyons helped Pride Mobility present the new power wheelchair to Kelly on July 20. “It makes me feel good to help people,” Lyons said. “I saw my neighbor was having trouble with her wheelchair and I knew I wanted to raise money for her so she could get a new one.” The Jazzy Air 2 will help increase Kelly's independence. “It means a lot,” she said. “I've had my other wheelchair for many years, and I've had issues with it on and off, but I'm very happy to have this chair now.”
