A DISABLED youngster proved her condition was no obstacle by completing the Great Manchester run in aid of Dogs for Good assistance dogs charity.

Sophie Ashton, aged 15, was brain damaged at birth and now suffers with epilepsy, learning difficulties and cerebral palsy.

Despite her conditions she has defied doctors by learning to walk, talk and feed herself.

And now she can add taking part in the Junior Great Manchester run to her list of growing achievements.

The inspirational teen, with the help of her mum, took part in the 2.3km course in her wheelchair, alongside her two brothers James and Jack.

Mum Jenni Corri, of Macdonald Avenue, Farnworth, said: "I am so proud of her and her brothers too.

“They all loved it.

“Sophie laughed all the way round and spectators were high fiving her as she passed them.

“She was so excited.

“She had her Dogs for Good stuffed toy on her knee too and never let go of it.

“I was so tired from pushing her but was well worth it.”

Sophie finished the race in 44th place, in aid of charity Dogs for Good and the family have so far raised more than £700.

To donate to Sophie’s cause text; SDFG62 (and an amount) to 70070.
