Amelia with rescue dog storm AN animal-loving teenager from Mobberley is challenging herself to raise £1,000 for a rescue shelter which is close to her heart. Amelia Semp, who has cerebral palsy, will be walking one mile around Tatton Park – a task which will be especially challenging as she will be using a walking frame. The 14-year-old was inspired after her family struck up a relationship with Cyprus Pride House, an animal rescue shelter near Limassol, Cyprus. Three of Amelia’s four dogs – Storm, Rosie, Coco and Oscar – came from the shelter and now have a loving new home in Knutsford.
