I've set myself the challenge to train for and run my first ever half marathon! 

Since late Summer 2017, I have that the pleasure of working at Blesma, meeting some of the charity's Members and seeing the difference our work makes in their lives. Members face some monumental challenges, which I couldn't even fathom, and for that reason I'm setting myself this small challenge to get off the couch and run a half marathon! 

I'd truly appreciate any donations you can give to help me reach (and exceed!) my fundraising target for this unique cause. 

Here's a bit about the charity, to let you know what your donation will contribute towards: 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.
