Hello, thank you for checking out my Just Giving Page my name is Ross and I lost my leg in 16/12/2014 due to Diabetic complications and misdiagnosis.

Fast forward to 2020 I am now a prosthetist for the NHS and love the work that I do especially using my unique experience as an amputee service user myself, along with my qualifications to help other amputees to become mobile again with the assistance of charities like Limbpower to empower amputee to become more active and mobile using their prosthetics. 

I am partaking in summer of hardcore fundraiser events; the Brighton Marathon in April, Parachute Jump in May and a 2-day endurance Exmoor Coastal hike challenge in September. This is no easy feat and will test me to my limits all in aid to raise money for a charity close to my heart -LimbPower. 

 Know more about LimbPower & the amazing work this charity does for other Amputees wanting more out of their prosthesis & life.

Limbpower is a UK national disability sports organisation to engage (adults, teens and children) amputees and people living with limb differences to regain mobility and fitness in physical activity, sport and the arts to improve quality of life, mental wellbeing and lifelong rehabilitation. 

 LimbPower host many live and virtual events. The LimbPower adult and children Games at Stoke Mandeville Stadium is where the most amount of amputees engage in activity and sport and one time. These weekends have been hugely successful at introducing or getting amputee and limb different adults and children partaking in sport, with some leading onto professional careers in the Paralympics. 

The LimbPower Adult, teen and kids activity weekends where participants feel comfortable with ‘people like me’ at trying new activities such as; abseiling, rock climbing, canoeing, archery, horse riding etc. 

 Many more live events to support our community as well as online fitness resources. Our successful, reVAMP 12-week fitness and nutritional programme designed by PT Gold Medallist Paracanoe Jack Eyers and weekly online live fitness classes Yoga, paracise, Zumba, Tai Chi which have all been specifically designed for amputees and people with limb differences.

 Thank you so much for supporting me on my challenges and LimbPower.
