Im currently running a 7.5km challenge in order to raise money for Blesma and the work they do for veterans who have lost limbs in service of our country. 

To help raise more awareness Myself and SAC Crossley, are doing a 45kg plus weighted tab on the Friday 29th of May at 10.00 for 7.5km throughout the married patches of RAF Leeming. 

We will have Safety staff with us for the event who will be collecting money on the route aswell, both wearing protective measures within Covid guidelines.

I'd love for others to join the event as well,

whether it be on their own or as a family, 

3 people walking 2.5km to come together to support our veterans

I know alot of challenges are flying around at the minute but during these uncertain times I still believe we need to look after those who have received serious injuries due to serving our country.

BLESMA, The Limbless Veterans, is dedicated to assisting serving and ex-Service men and women who have suffered life-changing limb loss or the loss of use of a limb, an eye or loss of sight. We support these men and women in their communities throughout the UK and overseas. We work tirelessly for our Members when the conflicts that have affected their lives are no longer a focal point in the nation’s media. Since 1932, we have been the only national Service charity that supports limbless veterans for the duration of their lives. Our Members range from the youngest amputee veterans to those who fought in WWII, some having lived with limb loss for more than half a century. Modern medicine transforms the physical injury, but it is a complicated process to treat the emotional trauma and related lifelong health problems.Blesma provides a network where Members not only enjoy support from our professional Welfare Team, but where they have the opportunity to engage with others who have similar injuries and backgrounds to themselves, building an important fellowship with each other to overcome everyday battles.
