Congratulations Elaine!

Elaine Oakey is the driving force behind England's junior amputee football programme - giving young amputees the chance to experience the joy and camaraderie of sport.

She is winning a Pride of Britain Award for her incredible dedication and inspirational leadership over more than a decade of changing lives.

Pride of Britain has teamed up with GoFundMe to give Elaine an extra special surprise on. Weekend football camps for amputee children are at the heart of Elaine's impact, and we want to raise £50,000 to make sure the costs of every monthly camp are covered for an entire year.

Elaine’s mission was inspired by her son Jamie, 23, who was born without a foot and missing the lower part of his right leg. Jamie was delivered when Elaine was in a coma following an accident, and she came round not knowing her baby had been born, let alone named by hospital staff.

Elaine says: “Young people come to us at the toughest of times. They believe they’ll never play football again, and some get selected to the squad and even go on to represent England. It’s been an extremely long journey but I’m really proud of where we are today.

"It’s due to the community we’ve built and the hard work and dedication of so many incredible people.”

Watch Elaine receive her award at the Pride of Britain Awards on Thursday 22 October at 8pm on ITV."

Please please please sign and share this petition. Every limb difference child or young person should be having regular x rays x

I need your help,our petition campaign has ground to a halt - we need 10,000 signatures by16th Dec for parliament to respond. We’ve shared, given out hundreds of flyers, spoken at conferences, asked everyone we know, approached local press, written to SEND departments but still have a huge gap - I’m out of ideas, really grateful for any suggestions and support. Letters to MPs have resulted in the DHSC citing radiation levels - I’m not buying that as the NHS data that they use themselves says this simple 5 min x ray is the equivalent of 1.5 days of sunshine.
I’m feeling really sad but not ready to give up. Any help gratefully received, Jane x

Petition: Require NHS to offer base line X-rays for children born with a limb difference

Limb different children have unusual anatomy. Without a baseline X-ray on NHS records, some A&E doctors can’t tell what is an injury & what is the norm for that child. We want every limb different child to have a baseline X-ray at diagnosis, stored and easily accessible
