A Scottish couple who scooped the UK's biggest lottery win have offered to pay for a life-changing operation for a four-year-old girl with cerebral palsy.

Colin and Chris Weir from Largs, in Ayrshire, are providing the funds to send Isabel Wallis, from Musselburgh, to America to have the surgery.

Isabel's parents had been raising funds to help pay for the operation.

They hope it will enable their daughter to live without having to use a wheelchair.

Her mother, Kate Horne, said: "I have been at breaking point trying to look after Isabel, but the generosity of everyone around us has always kept me going.

"Receiving the donation from the Weirs was overwhelming, words cannot describe it.

Good for them! 🙂
 
This couple have been fantastic. It's not the first time they have helped a youngster to a better quality of life.
