Little Heroes believes that Smiling is a great way to make children with cancer feel better.

Imagine when a child is undergoing treatment, that child receiving a present (or toy) for that one second, they may smile as such they may feel better if only for a moment, not only will they smile but so may their family. Now imagine giving a toy to every child on a cancer ward, every month. How many smiles could you make?

When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them.

Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. When a child smiles, there is a measurable reduction in their blood pressure. Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.

Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling. If you can help us to achieve a smile on a child’s face who is undergoing treatment for cancer, is it not priceless knowing that you have personally made a child in pain smile?
