British archery Paralympian Mel Clarke visited ACL Mobility in Bishopsworth this week to collect the world's lightest wheelchair.

Clarke, who won a bronze medal in the Beijing Games, was told by doctors in 2003 that due to her injuries caused by Lyme Disease, an infection caused by a tick bite, that she would never pick up a bow again.

Two years later she was World Champion and five years after that she was on the podium winning bronze in Beijing.

She now has her sights set on appearing at the 2012 Paralympics in London.

Clarke originally went to ACL Mobility to buy a cushion for the back of her wheelchair, but while there she spotted the new Helium –the lightest wheelchair in the world at only 6.5kg.
