"We are delighted Bolton Wanderers have launched this initiative. Blesma formed in the aftermath of World War One with amputee veterans helping each other showing teamwork in adversity. Today, our Members face the realities of limb loss every day of their lives, but with support like this they will not be alone as they strive for independence and purpose. We are immensely grateful." - Barry LeGrys, Chief Executive
"Everyone at Bolton Wanderers is proud to be supporting Blesma and the incredible work they do in supporting our limbless veterans. Our special thanks also go to Macron for producing another hi-quality bespoke shirt in support of this initiative" Phil Gartside, Bolton Club Chairman
