CHAMP is a division of the War Amps organization. It provides prosthetic devices
and other services to child amputees (Champs) and their families. Pictured below
are some of the children from the Maritimes that benefit from the CHAMP program.
One prosthetic arm cost thousands of dollars and, for a child amputee, must be
replaced often as the child outgrows the device. This can become a very costly
affair for the family. CHAMP provides these services without any financial help
at all from any government organization.
Over the past nine years, the Defenders have raised over $50,000 for the CHAMP.
The total amount raised in 1999 was $10,500! All this is done by an organization
that has a local membership of just under 50 members and a national membership
of under 150!
Presenting the cheque to CHAMP On Dec 1, 1999 the Defenders Motorcycle Club was proud to present a cheque for $10,500 to representatives of CHAMP of Canada.
