Frank Letch

Frank Letch was born with major upper limb deficiencies but found Reach later in life, by which time he had raised a family of five and retired from his fulfilling career as a Teacher. He is a stalwart and enthusiastic member of our board of trustees and has previously served as Chairman of Reach for two years. During this period Frank oversaw some exciting developments in the Association and was a major force behind our initiatives to cater for Reach teenagers and older children. Frank introduced the Calvert Trust Outward Bound Camp as the Reach Millennium project and worked tirelessly at fundraising to ensure its success. Frank contributes regularly to the Reach magazine (Within Reach) giving advice on various topics as 'Agony Uncle' and writing articles. Frank is also an accomplished public speaker and has attended hundreds of functions on behalf of Reach. He travels far and wide spreading the word about Reach and doing his now famous 'Feet First' talk describing his day-to-day life, and demonstrating (among other things) how he chops an onion with his feet!
