Raising money for

The Limbless Association

Charity Registration No. 803533

Limbless Association is a national charity for individuals with limb loss, their family and their carers. We aim to help these individuals through their own talents and initiatives to become active members of their communities. LA enables amputees achieve rehabilitation and sustain independence at home, employment and in the community. LA is the only charity for individuals with limb loss of all ages and backgrounds. We run many programs that are unique to our organisation such as a national helpline devoted to amputee issues; our Football+ Project run in conjunction with Chelsea FC Football in the Community, and our Outreach Program, which co-ordinates our prominent Volunteer Visitors Network. This Network consists members who, using their experience as amputees, support people awaiting amputation or amputees experiencing difficulties since their operation. Limbless Association also played a key role in assisting victims who sustained limb-loss during the 7/7 London terrorist attacks.

My story

Hello!

Thank you so much for taking time to look at my JustGiving page. I am taking part in the Cursa de la Mercè 10K run in Barcelona on 20 September to raise money for the Limbless Association. My lovely friend Pollyanna lost her leg in a tragic accident in London in April 2007. Her mother had a major injury to her left leg and her grandmother tragically died in the accident.

Pollyanna is a wonderfully happy, but incredibly brave little girl and her family are one of the bravest I know. I would like to help her and the Limbless Association raise money - for research into new limbs, to help people in developing countries who don't have the same access to new legs like Pollyanna, and to help amputees come to terms with their loss.

So please sponsor me now! Thank you!
