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

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Time has come again, and I am determined to beat 50 min’s which I achieved last year, if you think I can do it then Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I have been an Amputee for 5 years now. For most of you that know me I got rather drunk one evening and ended up walking down a tube tunnel in my suit, which was not the most sensible thing I have ever done, this resulted in me unfortunately losing the lower part of my right leg below knee, and at least I still have my good looks, ha ha.

I used to play squash for England and was once upon a time reasonably fit, believe it or not, and to be honest after my accident I didn’t think I would run properly ever again.

So I have decided to try my best at completing the race with my new crazy running leg, get fit and lose some weight at the same time. I’m raising funds for the Limbless Association as it’s a great support unit for individuals in similar or harder positions than my self

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 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
