Keira Neal, 11, of Fairmont Hot Springs, rode on The War Amps PLAYSAFE / DRIVESAFE float in the recent Calgary Stampede Parade, telling kids to “spot the danger before you play!”

Keira, is a right leg amputee due to cancer and a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. Through her role as a Safety Ambassador, she encourages kids to be aware of road signs and moving vehicles in their neighbourhoods. Keira is well qualified to pass on the PLAYSAFE message as she knows what it is like to live without a limb and has met children who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented.
