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

Ray & Barry sucessfully completed the Bikeathon in just over 2 hours. They would like to thank everyone who has sponsored them.

Wokingham Bikeathon

My name is Barry Perrin; I am an amputee of right below knee. My amputation was due to a football injury over 40 years ago, I broke my ankle and arthritis set in, I went through numerous amounts of surgery to try to alleviate the pain but it was always very painful and the arthritis was so bad, but I carried on playing until I was 46 years old.

I met Ray Edwards (CEO of Limbless Association) in May 2008, when I was in Roehampton after my amputation. Ray introduced himself and explained that he was a Quad amputee (all 4 limbs) from the moment that I met Ray, I knew that I would be walking again, he is such an inspiring person, and he gave me so much confidence. After hearing Ray tell me his reason for the loss of his limbs, my thoughts were “if Ray can do it with all 4 limbs, then I know that I can do it with my one limb” It was a struggle and I just cannot imagine what Ray and his family went through “The man is incredible”

I am fortunate to have Ray as a good friend now and plan on helping raise money for the Limbless Association. What an ambassador he is for the charity, a true admiral and I most certainly am one of his pirates. For many people look up at Ray as “The Limbless Association”

Barry and Raymondo would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far - - £4,870 as of 28/05/09!!!
