Story
As if the London Marathon 2007 wasn’t enough…..here I am a couple of months away from running it all over again! This year I am raising money for a charity called the Limbless Association.
For those who don’t know, for the last year I have been working in Amputee Therapy at Roehampton, Queen Mary’s Hospital. The Limbless Association is a charity based at Roehampton that give a great deal of support not only to a huge amount of Amputees at Roehampton, but to Amputees all over the UK. I therefore feel very passionately about raising as much money as i can, so that i can contribute to the great work that they do.
So please show your support and sponsor me as much as you can, any amount pounds or pennies…..it all counts!
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. I also have some sponsor forms if you would rather not use a computer, so please let me know.
And of course any support on the day would be amazing, it made a huge difference last year seeing my support team (Team chutney chaser!) around the course…..feeding me sweets and orange juice!
Thank you so much for your support,

Limbless Association is a national charity for people with limb loss of all ages and backgrounds. 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 in the Community, and our Outreach Program which co-ordinates our prominent Volunteer Visitors Network.
The Volunteer Vistors Network consists of a group of our members who, using their knowledge and experience as amputees, support and encourage 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 7/7London terrorist attacks.
Please consider making a donation towards Moira's run, any amount would be wonderful and very much appreciated. Training for and participating in a marathon is very hard work and we are very lucky to have Moira running for us!
