Mya’s brave walk for friend
The Border Mail | March 24, 2011
A FRIENDSHIP forged through hardship is the driving force behind a seven-year-old cerebral palsy sufferer’s plan to walk Dean Street.
Albury’s Mya Irving is hoping people will sponsor the eight-block walk next month in a bid to raise the $35,000 needed to modify a car to take an electric wheelchair for her friend Rajah Sutherland, 5.

The pair met through a disability support service and hydrotherapy.
Without the modified car her Jindera mother Ellen Sutherland is largely housebound.
