Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In August 2017 Blesma are planning a two day event in an attempt to do a tandem skydive for every service man and woman fallen in the Afghanistan conflict. They have a fundraising target of £100,000.


This is my first ever skydive and to say I'm nervous is an understatement. I'm motivated to jump for Blesma because of the support they give to the men and women that have served and continue to serve our country. This campaign is especially personal to me as I and many of my friends watched our loved ones leave the UK and head to Afghanistan. Please support me in this jump and donate to this worthy cause. Have a read below to find out more about Blesma. 

Who we are

Blesma, The Limbless Veterans helps all serving and ex-Service men and women who have lost limbs, or lost the use of limbs or eyes, to rebuild their lives by providing rehabilitation activities and welfare support. Our programmes allow Members and their families to face the challenges ahead with renewed confidence and self-belief.

What we do

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.

Why we need you

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.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
