Wokingham PROBUS Club
RAY EDWARDS MBE was guest speaker at Wokingham PROBUS Club at John Nike Centre, Bracknell, on Wednesday, June 7.
Ray who is Britain’s longest surviving quadruple amputee founded the charity Limbcare to provide support to other amputees. He also provides stimulating morale building talks under the heading Ray Inspires. Inspire is what he really does. You may ask how can a man experience cancer, blood poisoning, losing all four limbs on one day, a heart attack and kidney failure and still survive and climb mountains?
He can and he did, and his name is Ray Edwards.
All this was revealed in a poignant, personal and thought provoking presentation. A collection was held at the end of Ray’s talk for Limbcare.
