Story
I told my physio that I needed a new challenge and it looks like I have found one! Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is going to be a great physical challenge but an unbelievable experience. I`m fortunate and inspired to be joining some fellow amputees and other trekkers in attempting this climb. The training is tough and intense but is getting me out of the office on time! So if Cheryl Cole and Chris Moyles can do it then there is still hope for me!
The real reason and motive for doing this climb is to raise some funds for a very worthy charity, The Limbless Association, which works to help facilitate a better life for amputees.
They provide support and advice to amputees and their families and provide a network from which they can exchange information and experiences. The funds generated by this challenge will go towards the development of the LA’s Professional and Specialist Amputee Counselling Service, Dedicated Complaints and Advocacy Service, Parliamentary and Campaigns Department, LA Handbook and Educational DVD, Sport and Fitness, Education, Training, Sponsorships, Scholarships and the Limb Loss User Group Network, Research and Development.
