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

This is a picture of my Dad on the first day he stood on his prosthetic leg.

The Limbless Association gave us the strength and resources to get through this difficult time. They have a network of volunteers who are prepared to talk through any concerns that the patient or their family might have, and a wealth of information about every aspect of coping with amputation.

12th March 2009 was the anniversary of Dad's operation, and I asked him how he was coping. He said "It's going well. I've just got back on the tractor from harrowing the fields, although I do have a bit of trouble walking in really thick grass". He has been able to find ways to get his farming lfe back. His is a real success story, but there are others who have an even more difficult journey, and really need the assistance the Limbless Association can offer. You can help by sponsoring me on this 40k walk.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Limbless Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
