In April this year I collected 500+ legs and an LDV Convoy minibus and drove them all the way from Leicester to The Gambia for my charity Legs4Africa. The second-hand prosthetics were crammed into the back of the minibus, which had just enough MOT to get it out of Europe and a spare engine wedged between the rear seats, just in case. Before the trip, no-one knew what to expect. This daring and frightening adventure really began when the crowd-funding money began rolling in, the van got kindly donated to us and the pile of donated legs was growing by the week. The smiling supporters and donors reassured us that everything would be fine, so we bowed gracefully to the social pressure, put on our brave faces and kept our fingers so firmly crossed that our wrists went blue. My journey was truly life-changing (both for me and the Gambian amputees). It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as we encountered a seemingly endless amount of setbacks, and agree that I will probably never do it again! Luckily enough for the rest of you, my journey has been recorded for your entertainment in a compelling and personal documentary to be released in Spring 2015. Support our current Crowdfunding project to get 1,000 prosthetic legs out to Africa here It was fair to say that the van had seen better days The following trailer is for a documentary we made on route and will be releasing in early 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytjMG6cQt0w We are sending another 1,000 legs out to The Gambia this Christmas and are currently fundraising to cover the costs, you can help us to achieve our goal and have a direct impact on to the lives of many by donating here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3sg8aW7omk Thanks for reading, please share the videos etc on facebook to spread the word https://www.facebook.com/legs4africa
