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

ANDY TO RUN 13 MILES ROUND LONDON…

AND ITS NOT A PUB CRAWL!

I also laughed at the idea, its utter madness. However, it’s for an amazing cause so I’m up for the challenge.

As you may already know, I’m heavily involved in coaching Chelsea F.C.’s Disabled Footballers. They are a fantastic bunch with a whole range of issues that they overcome by playing football.

Being involved in our group, the players overcome Deafness, Visual impairment, Cerebral Palsy and a host of other difficulties to play football.

It’s a real privilege to work with them.

So if they can conquer their disabilities I’m going to conquer mine…..drinking/eating to much, being overweight, totally unfit and some might say…..old. (I know you all disagree!!)

I’ve agreed to run the “runtothebeat” half marathon on Oct 5^th around London. If you can spare a couple of coins the players, most of which are from deprived backgrounds, would be extremely grateful.

All proceed are going to The Limbless Association who manage the

Football + project on behalf of Chelsea F.C.

The diet starts today so I can fit into my training gear!!!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Limbless Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
