Last April, my much loved Grandad suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Unfortunately when his right leg did not regain circulation, the only option was to amputate. He is an extraordinary man who's strength, courage and determination I deeply admire. I am so proud of him and how far he has come.

My sister, Emma, and I have decided to raise money for The Limbless Association to support my Grandad, other amputees and their families. All money raised will be donated to The Limbless Association and any donations will be gratefully received. I am selling cakes in my sixth form on 19th January and Emma is doing a sponsored silence on the 20th January to raise money for the Limbless Association!

Thank you! X
