"Rules of Engagement" star Bianca Kajlich's brother Andre lost his legs when he was run over by a train. Now, the Kajlich family is dedicated to helping other amputees, especially children.

They're helping with a summer camp for amputee children, the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) Paddy Rossbach Youth Camp, and discussed the project on CBS' The Early Show with Harry Smith.

Andre Kajlich expressed"My message will be to present my experience and going on with life...Just to interact and show them there are a lot of other kids..."

Bianca Kajlich is excited about the potential of starting a drama program at the camp.

"The great thing about acting is you get to be in your body," she said. "And you get to imagine different characters and be different things and I think that's something that'll be so fun to share with them."

Nice to see good work being done when actors or anyone make money that can be used in service of others.
