There’s a reason why kids hold onto so many teddy bears, they bring immense comfort and joy; not to mention endless time caring for them, talking to them – they are apart of the family. Teddy bears make kids feel love, give warmth, and provide friendship.
Starlight Canada teams up with Toys “R” US each year to release a limited edition collectible bear. Each annual collectible bear is inspired by a child who is living with a serious illness. Let me introduce you to ‘Flash’, the 2016 Starlight Bear.
Flash is the 8th Limited Edition Collectible Starlight Bear and is inspired by Noah, a young boy who was diagnosed with Pompe disease in 2011, at just 2 years old. Pompe disease is a rare genetic disease that affects muscle growth, yet in Noah’s case, it also means an enlarged heart.
Noah’s inspired bear name Flash features bright pops of orange, Noah’s favourite colour.There’s a stitched heart into the bottom of Flash’s foot, and “Starlight 2016” stitched into his other. Flash also has a rainbow tie to reflect Noah’s happy disposition, despite the many challenges of having a serious illness.
Kids know {but adults need reminders} that not all teddy bears are created equal. This is most certainly the case with Flash. Beyond his super soft fur and cuddly size, I can’t help but to look at Flash and think of Noah and how how I love that Starlight Canada and Toys “R” Us are providing these annual bears since 100% of the proceeds from the sale of Flash will be donated to Starlight so they can continue to help brighten lives of seriously ill kids, like Noah, through in and out-of-hospital programs.
This holiday season, brighten your kids day with the gift of a new friend name Flash, and know that in your purchase – so many other kids are being supported. It’s an amazing cause!
Purchase Limited Edition Collectible Flash Starlight Bear for $17.99 at www.toyrus.ca and/or at all participating Toys “R” Us stores across Canada.
