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

Hello! Thank you so much for sponsoring me to take part in Run to the Beat in September and the BUPA Great South Run in October for the Limbless Association. Of course it is a charity that is close to my heart after my daughter Pollyanna lost her leg in a tragic accident in London in April 2007. I had a major injury to my to left leg also and so this run is a major challenge for me. But with your kind support I will try my best. I really would like to raise money for research into new limbs and also for children and adults in developing countries who don't have the same access for new legs like Pollyanna. I also want to help the Association in its work helping amputees to come to terms with their loss. I know my mother Elizabeth, who died in the crash, would have been pleased to help other people less fortunate than ourselves.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE FOR SPONSORING ME YOU ARE SO KIND AND I CAN NOT WAIT TO TELL YOU HOW I DO - PLEASE WILL YOU ALSO GUESS A TIME AND THE PERSON WHO GUESSES NEAREST TO MY TIME WILL GET A FABULOUS PRESSIE - I PROMISE

Love Sarah xxxxx

The LA provides information, advice and support to the limb-loss community. We aim to support people of all ages and backgrounds through a variety of existing programs and services.

We offer free, friendly and impartial advice on all aspects of limb-loss and provide a national "voice" for UK prosthetic patients, encouraging best practice in the industry and promoting equal opportunities in the community.

Please consider making a donation towards Sarah’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 Sarah Christopher and their family’s support.
