About my charity : The Limbless Association The Limbless Association
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 personal message:

MARATHON TIME AGAIN!!!!

 

Once again I have found myself entered into a marathon......only this year is a different destination, and with a couple of added runs later in the year! So, this year I will be raising money for the limbless association by running the following:

 

 1. Albert BartlettEdinburghMarathon 2009 (26.2m!)

2. British 10km

3. Great South Run (10m)

 

For those who don't know, for the few years I have been working in Amputee Therapy at Roehampton, Queen Mary's Hospital. The Limbless Association is a charity based at Roehampton that give a great deal of support not only to a huge amount of Amputees at Roehampton, but to Amputees all over the . I therefore feel very passionately about raising as much money as i can, so that i can contribute to the great work that they do. So please show your support and sponsor me as much as you can, any amount pounds or pennies.....it all counts!

 

It is really easy to sponsor online using this site. Also, if you tick the box for gift aid, it means that the Limbless Association can claim back 28p in tax from every pound you donate. I also have some sponsor forms if you would rather not use a computer, so please let me know.

 

And of course any support on any of the days would be amazing, it made a huge difference the last few years seeing my support team around the course.....feeding me sweets and orange juice!

 

Once again, I plan to organise a Mixed Netball Tournament to raise money towards the total. So anyone who got the taste for netball last year, I will keep you informed of the plans!

Thank you so much for your support.
