If anyone follows this up and gets selected, how about doing a “Paralympic 2012 Training Blog” for the Website?

It’d be fascinating to hear first-hand what’s involved in training for and competing in these wonderful Games and a great inspiration for any amputees starting out on their own journeys back to fitness.

Please contact me on:wendy@limblossinformationcentre.com if you’d like to be involved.

The Douglas Bader Foundation is a charity organisation, formed in honour of Sir Douglas Bader in 1982 by family and friends, many of whom had flown side by side with Douglas during World War 2. Douglas was honoured in 1976 with a Knighthood for his contribution and work on behalf of the disabled. The mission of the foundation is to continue Douglas' work in conjunction with and on behalf of individuals with a disability. read more >

There’s already our popular Forum for information, support & chat. But sometimes you may feel in need of something extra.

You’re special to us you know! So we thought you’d like a more personal service for more specific advice or maybe to make a 1-2-1 contact with another amputee.
