Murray Hambro has been through a huge amount; from serious injury to crippling anxiety to tragic bereavement. He's come though it thanks, in part, to Blesma and his love of motorbikes.
Murray served for 12 years in the Royal Tank Regiment, but his life was shattered by a bomb blast in Afghanistan in 2010 that left both his feet needing to be amputated.
He struggled mentally for a number of years afterwards; firstly with the aftermath of amputation, and more profoundly when he lost his young son to a sudden illness.
Why support Blesma?
- Since WW1 we have supported over 62,000 limbless veterans.
- We are the only national Service charity that supports limbless veterans for the duration of their lives, offering financial and emotional support to them and their families.
- Since 1932, Blesma has worked tirelessly to provide practical, emotional and financial support to injured military personnel, their families and widow(er)s as they rebuild their lives.
