She has helped raise nearly £1million for others just like her.

Cash is used to fund a range of rehab programmes and clubs for families across the country.

Sessions include swimming, skiing, climbing, gardening, crafting, pilates and fitness.

Its popular Ampu-teas mornings bringing patients together for coffee and a chat.

More than 50 clubs run every month in Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Leeds.

Experts insist these events are key to recovery.

Doctors warn isolation is a huge problem for amputees.

One in three patients do not survive the first year after their operation due to a range of issues, including a lack of social inclusion.

Challenges running this year include tackling the Edinburgh Marathon, Kiltwalk and Glasgow Men’s 10K.

Volunteers are being sought for a range of services.

Roles include office admin, sports coaching, first aid, chauffeuring, photography, mentoring, canvassing and fundraising.
