WOBURN, MA — A Woburn man with cerebral palsy finally got his wheelchair fixed after nine weeks wait, according to a WCVB report.

During the period when his wheelchair was broken, Mark Hutchinson was unable to go outside, as his 77-year-old mother could not handle the heavy chair's weight on the ramp out of the home.

Hutchinson could only move around the home when his mother pushed the heavy chair around.
