Did you know that Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month (LLLDAM) wasn’t always a UK-wide campaign? It was actually brought to the UK in 2017 by our very own Kiera Roche, Chief Executive of LimbPower. After reaching out to the Amputee Coalition of America for permission, she set out on a mission to bring people together, raise awareness, and celebrate the resilience of our amazing community across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Now, eight years later, LLLDAM has grown into something truly special. Every April, individuals, charities, and businesses come together to share stories, support each other, and make sure that people with limb loss and limb difference feel seen, heard, and empowered.
This year, we’re focusing on real stories from real people. We want to hear from YOU—whether you’re an amputee, someone with limb difference, a family member, a healthcare professional, or an ally. Your experiences matter, and sharing them can help inspire and support others in our community.
Share Your Story!
Tell us about your experience of limb loss or limb difference. Whether it’s a short email or a video, your story could help raise awareness and make a real impact.
Deadline for case study submissions: April 21st
