NEWS JUST IN- PETER WILL BE DOING THE 5km.

The insane man has decided to complete the 5km challenge also on December 13th. He hopes to complete this on his new stubbies, but if the weather is bad he may have to use the one handed wheelchair. If you are free, do come along and support.

EDIT*

Kate completed the half marathon on Nov 14th- please check out #operationlegless page . This will allow her to focus her support on Pete on the actual day. 

"I am going to attempt to train and run for the Dorney Lake half marathon on Sunday 13th December to raise money for the amazing BLESMA. This charity has helped my husband, my family and I both financially and emotionally through some really difficult times and have always been there to offer support. Raising money for BLESMA is my small way of saying thank you and to enable me to give something back so they can continue to offer the help that is so desperately needed to our injured servicemen and women.

Now for those of you who have met me, know that I am NO runner! At 6”2 I was never designed to run!!! So please spare a few pennies or if times are tight, please share the link- every little helps and thank you for the support- be prepared for ridiculous photographs!!!!"

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.
