Wednesday, June 20th, 2012

We’ve been contacted by Alistair Macfarlane, the Exercise Referral Coordinator for Everyone Active Gyms in Bristol.

They are holding an open day on July 7th at Horfield Leisure Centre, Horfield, Dorian Road, Bristol, BS7 0XW, when Team GB Coach, Hayley Ginn, will be at the gym to hold a free workshop for leg amputees who may be interested in running/jogging.

The workshop is completely free and there’s no need for registration so people can just turn up on the day. Hayley Ginn will be there for the duration to speak to people but the session itself will take place between 14:45 – 15:45. The day starts at 8.15 and, as well as the Running Workshop, there are activities going on throughout the day. Plenty of things for everyone to get involved in!

You can just turn up on the day but, if you’d like more information, please contact:

Introduction

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.

Just email Leggz at leggzhelpline@live.co.uk
