They care for you. Let's care for them πŸ’™

Maybe it's your partner who never misses an appointment. A parent who's been there since day one. A mate who makes sure you get out of the house on the tough days.

If someone has supported you through your limb difference or limb loss journey, we want to celebrate them.

Drop a comment below, tag them and tell us why they deserve a little appreciation.

Nominations close Sunday 18 October.

Because the people who care for others deserve some care too.

To those who care, thank you πŸ’™

This week, we're shining a light on the carers, families, partners and friends who support people living with limb difference or limb loss.

You're there for the early starts, the long appointments and the days that don't go to plan. You're also the first to celebrate when something clicks, whether that's a first walk around the block or getting back to the footy.

Our team sees the difference you make every day, from reception to the clinic room. We want you to know it doesn't go unnoticed.

Know a carer who deserves a shout-out? Tag them below and let them know they're appreciated.

"Losing a limb is no small thing. It changes everything."

In September 2006, a high-speed motorbike accident led to Russell's right leg being amputated above the knee. Living in regional NSW, he shopped around before choosing his clinic.

What stood out was the people.

"Families care for one another and create a sense of belonging."

That's a fitting way to close National Amputee Awareness Week. Thank you to Denyelle, David, Vicki, Aaron, Stephenie, Nid, Wayne, Tom and Russell for sharing your stories with us.

Your community is closer than you think. Talk to the team at your local ForMotion Clinic. πŸ’š

Tom meets a lot of kids through his work. When they ask about his arm, he's happy to talk.

Tom was born with one hand. He's an ecologist, a dad, and the founder of Hooked on Nature, running wildlife shows at museums, conservation centres and botanic gardens.

"Don't push people away from that. Encourage conversations. I meet lots of kids through work, and I treat this as an opportunity to educate people about my limb difference."

Community grows when people feel free to ask. Our team at ForMotion Clinic backs Tom with attachments for his workouts, his compound bow and his myoelectric arm.

"After two and a half years I'm riding again."

Wayne's a retired train driver and a motorbike man through and through. After a 2019 accident and 14 operations, the bones in his foot collapsed in early 2021, and that led to a below-knee amputation.

His goal was simple: walk, then ride. Physio, laps of the walking track at his local park, and plenty of grit later, he's back on the bike.

His tip for anyone starting out: "Be sure to surround yourself with people that know what you have endured."

School drop-offs. Two training sessions. Two social games. Every week.

That's Nid's routine.

In May 2015, a motorbike accident in Thailand led to an above-knee amputation of her left leg. Today she's a busy mum of two, married to Alex, and a competitive para-badminton player who has competed internationally.

Her family at home and her crew on the court keep her moving.

"I now feel I can achieve anything in life."

Find your sport, find your people. Ask your clinician about clubs near you. πŸ’š

Stephenie found her people with a sabre in her hand.

In 2019, she contracted cerebral malaria in Nigeria. A coma, organ failure and sepsis followed, and in 2021 she had partial amputations of both legs above the ankle.

Then she picked up wheelchair fencing.

"Parasports has helped me access a friendly community of positive people."

Today she competes internationally in women's sabre, runs her own safety app business, and wants to build an Australian women's parafencing program so more people can give it a go.

Her advice: "Advocate for yourself. Don't be afraid to speak up."

A walk, a swim, a training session. It's easier to get out there with people beside you. πŸ’š

22 surgeries. Then a decision.

In March 2017, 700 kg of steel fell on Aaron's leg at work. After 22 surgeries trying to save it, he had a below-knee amputation in 2018.

Today he runs, trains at the gym and is working his way back to cricket. He's also part of a peer support program, helping people who are just starting out with limb loss.

His message for them: "Never give up no matter how hard life gets, there is light at the end of the tunnel."

Talking to someone who's been there can answer questions no brochure can. Ask your clinician about peer support near you. πŸ’š

"David's got the arms, I've got the legs."

That's how Vicki sums up life with her husband David. πŸ˜„

David had a below-knee amputation after a 2014 injury left his leg with 16 breaks and him on crutches for three years. Vicki lost her hand in 2020, two decades after a workplace accident as a volunteer firefighter and 44 surgeries trying to save it.

Together, they found their people on the lawn bowls green. They travel all over Australia for competitions, and Vicki has played at Nationals three times, bringing home silver in 2022.

Their advice: "Never give up. Always try, and you'll be amazed at what you can do."

Proud to be part of their team at ForMotion Clinic Hunter. πŸ’š
