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

Update:

Mary Jane successfully completed her run on Sunday 12th July 2009. You can still nominate Mary Jane through this page if you missed the opportunity to this earlier. She would like to thank all her donors who sponsored her and would like you to let you all know that she is still running!

I want your support please.

As a physiotherapist I have worked with amputees for many years and their support is something I care for passionately.

I forever admire my patients’ abilities to rise to the challenges faced on a daily basis; be it the acceptance of amputation or returning to everyday activities such as walking outdoors, returning to work, even running…I have set myself a challenge on their behalf. Unlike some amputees – I’m not a runner – the most I’ve ever run in the past has been to ‘catch that bus’ or to hit a tennis ball. But for the first time in my life I’m running (my daughter says I have a shuffling style!) in preparation for the British 10K London Run on 12 July 2009 with the aim of raising as much money as I can for the Limbless Association.

The Limbless Association (LA) is a charity based at Roehampton, London that provides excellent support for amputees through a range of activities.

Please show your support and sponsor me as generously as you can toward this excellent cause. Whatever the amount, pennies, pounds, it is all appreciated. You can donate to my fundraising page from anywhere in the world but donations need to be made in pounds sterling.

It is really easy to sponsor online using this site. Also, if you tick the box for gift aid, it means that the Limbless Association can claim back 28p in tax from every pound you donate.

Thank you so much for your support,

Mary Jane
