Abel and the TiCats

Together, Abel and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are showing that child amputees can tackle any challenge, with the support of The War Amps CHAMP Program. CHAMP provides children in Canada with the artificial limbs they need to lead full and active lives.

As The War Amps 2023 National Ambassador, Abel has teamed up with the Ticats in this year's public service announcement, which salutes the Canadian Football League’s longtime support of CHAMP.

“As Abel has grown up, being a part of CHAMP has helped him feel secure in himself and his abilities. His prosthetic arm and device that The War Amps funded allows him to do everyday tasks as well as play sports. For us, knowing that CHAMP will pay for the artificial limbs that he needs means fewer worries and that Abel can enjoy the same activities as other children.” Cortney, Abel's mom
