NOT LISTENING TO THE EXPERTS

  The Edmonton girl made headlines and melted hearts in 2016 with images of her expertly rolling along in a homemade wheelchair that her father fashioned from a foam baby Bumbo seat, a cutting board and bike wheels.
   At four-months-old, Evelyn was diagnosed with cancer and a tumour on her spine left her paralyzed below her arms. After several rounds of chemotherapy, doctors announced she was in remission, but the paralysis was permanent. They told her parents she could be fitted for a wheelchair after she turned two.
  Her parents didn't listen and, a few months later, the tot was in her homemade chair. And now, her blond hair long enough for bitty pigtails, Evelyn is hitting the gym and walking - with the help of machines.
