[AMP-L] Forget About the Leg, Just Watch Him Dance

via Killeen Daily Herald:

The high school choir room buzzed with spontaneous song and silliness 
before the show. Their recent rendition of Disney´s "High School 
Musical" was the students´ first chance to perform live since the 
pandemic shut down the world two years ago.  

Everyone was thrilled to be together again, but nervous, too.

At this point, someone usually shouts, "Break a leg!" MacKale 
McGuire, one of the show´s stars, responds with a cheeky grin: "I beat 
you to it."  

It is dark humor from a young man whose left leg was amputated above 
the knee four years ago after a battle with osteosarcoma, a type of bone 
cancer. "I´ve said it too many times, and now people just roll their eyes 
whenever they hear it," he said, chuckling. "But I love doing it. It´s 
funny."  

MacKale learned to walk again with a prosthetic leg. He returned to 
golfing almost immediately and eventually played soccer. Inspired by 
athletes in the winter Paralympics, which were on right about the time of 
his amputation, he learned to ski on one leg.
