Today is National Superhero Day! 🦸‍♀️ In honor, we're excited to introduce a new iteration of our Superhero Spotlights.

Meet Superhero, Olivia! She describes herself as "kind" and if she could have any super power she would choose either telekinesis or teleportation. 

Last Christmas, Olivia asked @candlelightersnyc if she could hand out LYM Beanies to other children and families at the hospital as a way to help others. “Everyone was so cold that week...the hats were the perfect gift! It made me very happy to be able to hand them out". - Olivia

At Love Your Melon, children battling cancer are the real superheroes. These warriors must face a larger-than-life villain: cancer. But with superhuman strength, resilience, and bravery, they continue to defy the odds. These are the kids we serve with our whole hearts, and they never stop inspiring us to keep fighting. Stay tuned today as we highlight Superheroes across the country in honor of National Superhero Day.

If there are any Superheroes in your life who might want to be featured on our channels, please visit the link in our bio.

Little Adventures chooses one hero per year…. Our hero this year is Princess Giovanna!!! She is a spunky, happy little girl with a larger-than-life personality. When she was eight and a half months old, she was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma. She and her loving family have been through so much. 

We have teamed up with Giovanna to create a dress that represents her bright and spunk personality!
 
Our team has been working hard to design, manufacture and market this dress in order to help her and her family with the continued testing and care needed for her.  All proceeds from the first 1000 Princess Giovanna dresses sold by Little Adventures will go directly to her family.  That means 100% of what Little Adventures receives for these first 1000 dresses!! After the first 1000 are sold, 15% will continue to go to support childhood cancer charities.
 
Your support will make a difference!!
 
Please help us in raising awareness about childhood cancer and provide the much-needed support for Giovanna. Please purchase and Share. You can find the link to purchase in our bio. 🤍
