​LimbPower Launches “Active August” Campaign: Embrace Your Inner Athlete

LimbPower, a leading national charity and National Disability Sports Organisation dedicated to supporting amputees and individuals with limb impairments, has launched its highly anticipated “Active August” campaign. This year’s theme, “Everyday Champions: Embrace Your Inner Athlete,” celebrates the spirit of Paralympic sports and encourages everyone, regardless of their age and ability, to engage in physical activities inspired by these incredible athletes and everyday community champions.

A Month of Motivation and Movement

Throughout August, LimbPower will share daily posts, activities designed to inspire and motivate participants and daily activity cards for both adults and children. The campaign kicks off with a motivational quote from Paralympian Jonnie Peacock: “I lost my leg at age five… Now I’m 1.9 seconds behind Usain Bolt.” This sets the tone for a month filled with stories of perseverance, tips for staying active, and guides to starting new sports.

Activity Trackers for All Ages

A key feature of this year’s campaign is the introduction of activity calendars for both adults and children. These calendars are designed to help participants record their physical activity, set goals, and celebrate their achievements.

Weekly Themes and Highlights

Each week of “Active August” focuses on different aspects of physical activity and features stories of individuals who have embraced their inner athlete:

• Week 1: Introduction and Inspiration – Highlights the benefits of staying active and features motivational stories and videos from Paralympic events.
• Week 2: Lower Limb Amputees – Showcases the journeys of lower limb amputees in sports like running and cycling, with tips and workout routines.
