 As you might be aware, my fellow quadruple amputee Olivia Giles and I have just launched a brand new charity, called 500 miles, which aims to help amputees and other disabled people in deprived parts of the world.We are very excited about this project and in order to get the charity off to a flying start I have set myself a challenge!
I am going to attempt to complete an Iron Man Triathlon length event which consists of:
- 2.4 mile swim
- 112 mile cycle
- 26.2 mile run
All non-stop in 24 hours! |

On the 15 July 2007, Jamie and fellow inspirational amputee Olivia Giles announced the launch of a brand new charity. Jamie and Olivia, who is also a quadruple amputee, have already raised thousands of pounds between them.  Now they have teamed up to launch 500 miles, an organisation dedicated to supporting amputees by funding initiatives which deliver prosthetic services and related care in areas of desperate need. With the blessing of Charlie and Craig Reid, they have borrowed the lyrics of the Proclaimers’ famous song as an aspirational goal for those they aim to help, and to give it a Scottish identity.
