“The Limbcare Garden stands out because it brings a message of hope to amputees and their families who have the huge challenge of accepting a dramatically changed life. The garden symbolises how the charity gives hope and security. Within this calming space, the amputee can face up to what has happened to them and then learn to think differently about what’s important in life. The garden offers a sense of hope in the healing process, the verve of nature showing great resilience, growth and adaptability to the amputee.   “It is also important to us to involve amputees in the creation of the garden. This will be another example of the way that Ray inspires and motivates other amputees, and I am delighted a number of people Limbcare has supported have already signed up to help build the garden.”   Ray Edwards MBE, knows the traumatic journey the garden represent only too well. He became an amputee as a result of septicaemia in 1987 and the challenges that he faced and overcame are the inspiration behind the garden. Since becoming an amputee Ray has dedicated his life to offering other amputees (and their families – all too often forgotten in the rehabilitation process) hope and support. He founded charity Limbcare to support this aim.
