Cancer survivor, one-legged athlete makes it to England’s Amputee League
Motivating all kids to ‘never give up’ if they have to face any illness, Jamie acts as a source of inspiration to them all.
Having lost one leg at the age of 13 due to bone cancer, Jamie Tregaskiss’s love for soccer has earned him a spot in England’s Amputee Federation Association (EAFA), a non-profit organization for amputees founded in 1990.
Shooting goals like a pro even with just one leg, Jamie is a pro when it comes to playing sports on crutches.
Getting coached professionally by the English Premiere League from when he was just 10, Jamie’s dedication and passion for soccer has only increased.
An eminent part of the English Amputee Football Association where he represents Man City, Jamie has established himself as a ruthless athlete on both national and international level.
“I am proud of myself, for how far I’ve come. Even now, with one leg, I feel like a professional footballer,” said Jamie.
Motivating all kids to ‘never give up’ if they have to face any illness, Jamie acts as a source of inspiration to them all.
