Being born a left arm amputee hasn’t stopped eight-year-old Malcolm Taylor of Cobble Hill.

Thanks to support from The War Amps, Taylor was recently fitted with a device that attaches to his artificial arm, allowing him to hold a camera, so he can develop his interest in photography. He is a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and is eligible to receive financial assistance with artificial limbs and recreational devices.

Malcolm says he is enjoying his new device. "I can hold my camera a lot easier and take really cool pictures."

He also has a device for biking that allows him to hold onto the handlebars and another for playing baseball.
