TWO young daughters of a Rock Ferry man suffering from Multiple Sclerosis have launched an appeal to buy him an electric wheelchair.

Samantha Wise, aged 12, and her nine-year-old sister, Kelly Marie, are trying to raise £4,000 for the chair that would allow their dad to move independently.

The girls' mother said: "I'm so proud of what they are doing. My daughters wanted to do something like this to help their father."

For more details of the appeal, contact Mrs Wise at 40 Shakespeare Avenue, Rock Ferry L42 2DL. A Barclays bank account has been opened, Sort Code 20-29-50 Account number 00324493.
