Story

8 Years ago Great Dunmow Round Table rode 160 miles to Ypres and raised £56,000 for Blesma. The team has been reassembled and a few new members added (me) and we will be cycling to Ypres on the 9th September 2022. The lycra doesn't fit as well the second time around and the bikes are a little rustier, but we hope to do the charity proud and so I would ask you to contribute if you can to help gain these veterans back their independence and a fulfilling life.

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.
