Sophia Arens, 9, of Pain Court, attended the recent 2017 War Amps Ontario Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in London, which brought together young amputees from across the province.
Arens, born a left leg amputee, is eligible for financial assistance for artificial limbs and recreational devices, as well as regional seminars through the CHAMP Program.
The theme of the seminar – “It’s what’s left that counts!” – was a motto adopted by the war amputee veterans who founded the Association in 1918, and is still reflected in the spirit of the CHAMP Program today.
CHAMP is funded through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service.
