Today in the UK, there are around 2,500 children and 18,000 people of all ages with upper limb differences. While not all of them need or want a prosthetic arm, there is no doubt that for those who do, the route through the NHS is long and arduous. Since 2018, The Worshipful Company of Glovers has been funding or partially funding bionic arms for adults and children, which in some cases has proven to be life-changing.

This Campaign, in keeping with the Glovers' motto of 'True Hearts and Warm Hands', will allow this to continue due to the generosity of Glovers, Supporters and Friends not to mention the daredevil individuals of the Flying Circus. I have personally met a number of the recipients of these arms and seen through my involvement with the Glovers the effect that receiving a bionic arm can have on the lives of children and adults. I have in the past been involved in helping with previous campaigns. But this time it's my turn to step up - or do I mean fly off!

So on July 30th I will, together with Mistress Glover and others, be taking on this terrifying challenge, defying the laws of gravity and good sense! So please help me turn my fear of heights and my sheer terror of doing this to gold - please dig deep and support me, your WingWalking Friend!
