Meet Rosie, 5, who turned a scooter ride into a £4,000 fundraiser

Not all superheroes wear capes, some don tiaras and do the good work such as five-year-old Rosie. After befriending Sid at a birthday party and learning he uses a wheelchair due to having spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA1), a condition which causes muscle weakness and a lack of motor neuron function in infants, she wanted to help.Rosie set herself a challenge, to scoot four miles in her favourite princess dress and so far, she has raised over £4,000, all to help her friend.Rosie's mother, Michelle, said Rosie was curious about Sid's condition and became "quite emotional" when she learned of some of the difficulties he faced. "Sid is a wheelchair-user and Rosie had questions around that," Michelle said to the BBC. The mother said she explained to Rosie about SMA1 and how Sid's parents had been raising funds to make their home more accessible.
