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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On the second of May I will be representing the Commando Joe team in the Scottish Ultra on the Islands of Isla and Jura then in early June depart on what should be an incredible adventure, rowing solo and unsupported from USA - UK, the nominated charity is BLESMA for obvious reasons, I have to complete both challenges and in good time and order in the hope that in some small way I can inspire and give encouragement to the brave lads returning home suffering as I did in 1982

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Limbless Ex-Service Men's Association (Blesma) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
