British Limbless Ex-Service Men's Association (Blesma)

Charity Registration No. 1084189

BLESMA is the Charity that directly supports all our service men and women who lose limbs, the use of limbs or eyes or the sight of an eye in the service of our country and we are with them all whenever we are needed for the rest of their lives. Our work starts with rehabilitation – proving that there is life after amputation. Our work is about amputee helping amputee – the fellowship of shared experience. Our work is about life long welfare support, about campaigning for what they deserve and about being there when old injuries come back to haunt. Our youngest Member is 19 and our oldest is 99 – truly we are BLESMA for life.

My story

In order to raise some money for the British Limbless Ex Servicemen’s Association (BLESMA), 16 Staff Officers from Headquarters 52 Infantry Brigade based in Helmand province of Afghanistan have volunteered to run in a 24 hour marathon. The marathon will start at noon on the 31^st Dec 07 and finish at noon 1^st Jan 08. The event will involve the participants, in pairs, running 3 x one hour shifts and completing approx 26 miles each. Due to the confined nature of the route, which is basically the base perimeter wall and fierce cold temperatures, plummeting to -8’C at night it will be a touch challenge.
