Turning Tragedy into Hope: Supporting Life + Limb
“War and terrorism have left deep scars in places like Northern Ireland, Gaza, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. Behind the scenes, medics have gained invaluable knowledge on using basic tools to treat severe trauma and save lives. Life + Limb harnesses this expertise, training frontline doctors and nurses so they can provide life-saving care and give victims a second chance at life.
I’m proud to support their incredible work by running the Tokyo Marathon on 2nd March 2025, helping to raise essential funds for global trauma training.” – Andy Spriggs
