Hi,
I know this group is normally used for clinic
questions, but I need your help and hope that you
don't mind me asking.

I am an above-knee amputee and have spent the last two
years raising around £22,000 and planning this event.
We are less than two weeks away from the event and the
Headley Court Team have pulled out and it looks like
we might loose the team from Exeter due to transport
problems. This will be a real blow to the event, so I
need your help to find 16 amputees and 4 healthcare
professionals to ensure that the event is a success.

Do you know of any amputees in the UK who are active
or want to be active and would benefit from an away
weekend taking part in 13 paralympic sports. We have
the governing bodies of these sports running the
programme for us.

There are 65,000 amputees in the UK using the limb
centres, so between us we must be able to find eight
interested in sport. Please spare me five minutes to
think about one amputee who would benefit and forward
my information to them. Poster attached.

I thank you in advance.

Regards,
Kiera
