Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt; mso-line-height-alt: 7.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; color: #3c1053; font-size: 10pt;">Each year, babies are born in the UK missing part of one or both arms and hands. Added to these are a small number of children who lose limbs or parts of limbs due to traumatic incidents or necessary surgery. For many of the families of these children it is the first time that they will have come across such a disability. Established in 1978 by a collection of parents who had children suffering from such conditions, Reach was set-up as a support group to give people affected by upper limb deficiencies the opportunity to meet others, offer advice and promote the interests and needs of families affected by this relatively rare condition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>By supporting these families along with invaluable research and development into the improvement of surgical techniques and prosthetics, Reach are offering not only the chance to share experiences but the opportunity to change children&rsquo;s lives. </span></p>
