The War Amps | Oct 08, 2015
Eleven-year-old Leah Neumann, of Tichborne, has returned from The War Amps 2015 Ontario Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Ottawa, which brought together young amputees from across the province. This year marks the 40th anniversary of CHAMP, which has provided generations of child amputees with financial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and peer support. Leah, born a right arm amputee, attended the three-day seminar with her mother where they learned about the latest developments in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying, and parenting an amputee child. She is pictured showing the special bike adaptation she uses to hold onto the handlebar.
CHAMP is funded through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1 800 250-3030 or visit waramps.ca.
