LETTER: Thank you for inspiring story about child amputee

The Editor,

Re: "Hand device helps girl go for it," the Now, April 10.

On behalf of The War Amps, I would like to thank you for the recent article "Hand device helps girl go for it" (April 10) featuring Arianna Hunsicker, a member of our Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.

Through CHAMP, which was established in 1975, young amputees like Arianna learn that there are no limits to what they can do and adopt the "Winner's Circle" philosophy of overcoming obstacles despite their amputation.

Our many programs and services for amputees are funded solely through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service.

Your coverage will go a long way in helping to spread the word.

Danita Chisholm, The War Amps
