New wheels allow for rides in the country

The Belgium Lions Club’s recent donation of $3,000, along with money from a Go Fund Me campaign, gave Terrie Large of Port Washington a 2017 medical van with a wheelchair ramp. Large, who has muscular sclerosis, has been in a wheelchair for 20 years and can now face forward in her van and enjoy the scenery of rides through the country. “I feel safe,” Large said.
