Blesma's Celebrity Supporter and HM the Queen's sculptress Westminster Abbey is keen to sculpt Members. She most recently sculpted 24-yr-old Private Alex Stringer who lost his legs and an arm when he was injured in Afghanistan as part of Blesma Week on 4 June.
The sculptures of the chosen Members' could eventually form part of Frances' exhibition in aid of Blesma next year and will be immortalised amongst her other work including HM The Queen, Prince Philip, Sir Steven Redgrave, Sir David Frost, Dame Edna Cooper and Maureen Lipman.
To be considered - besides age and length of service, email 500 words about how you sustained your injury and your story of recovery to commslead@blesma.org
You can also put it in the post to Blesma HQ.
