My story
*We did it! Target smashed and Marathon completed! Thanks everyone!*
Welcome. You're probably wondering why I have a JustGiving page, a fundraising target and a marathon to run.
Well, the answer is simple: Inspiration.
My girlfriend, Veronika, lost her left leg in December 2010 after being hit by a truck at Marble Arch. So I figure if she can learn how to walk again in the eight months since leaving hospital (she got out in April 2011), then I can run 26 and something miles.
In a sense, Veronika was actually pretty lucky - there's people who have lost a lot more. Since becoming more aware of the amputee and limbless community, I've found that there are many people doing a lot more than I am with my four limbs, and as a result I see the marathon as a personal challenge as much as an opportunity to raise money for a charity close to my heart.
So with a challenge ahead of me and inspiration behind me, I want to get out there and help by supporting the Limbless Association. That will only get me so far though, to carry me the rest of the way I need your motivation.
So dig deep and donate please. We've had great moral support from the industry both Veronika and I work in, as well as the cycling community. Now let's turn that into something that can help other people. Your details are safe with JustGiving - no spam - and they'll reclaim Gift Aid on every eligible donation.
Thanks
James

My charity
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.
