This year, Limb Difference Awareness Week is running from 19 – 25 October and serves as an opportunity to raise awareness of people living with a hand or limb difference. The aim of this week is to promote inclusion and inspire others through the stories shared. Limb Difference Awareness Week is hosted by the Aussie Hands Foundation, who work to provide support, information and encouragement to people born with a hand difference.

As of December 2019, there were 602 children registered on the Australian Hand Difference Register.

Get involved this October by:

• Making a donation
• Raising awareness on social media
• Volunteering with the organisation
• Becoming a sponsor
