Bryce and his team of amazing friends, family and organisational partners are working hard to raise both awareness about childhood cancer and funds to help us get Super Max the Turtle night lights into the hands of every child diagnosed with cancer in Australia and New Zealand. Stay up to date with Bryce's adventures in our news section below and on our social media accounts through Instagram at "SuperMaxAndBryce" and Facebook in our group called "Super Max & Bryce". Here's to spreading love, hope, happiness and comfort everywhere we go!

Christchurch. We didn’t think we could love you any more than we already did, but it happened. Yesterday, we visited the Children’s Haematology and Oncology Centre (CHOC) at Christchurch Hospital and we met some of the bravest, strongest and most beautiful superheroes and superfamilies that we have ever known. The warmth and love that radiates through the CHOC is beyond words. The turtles, scarves and socks that we gifted were all received with genuine love and affection. To everyone who is part of the CHOC family, welcome to the Super Max & Bryce family. We are sending you love through the stars every minute of every day. 🐢🌈🌟❤️🎗🥰💛

Connectedness. If there is one thing we hope we give little superheroes and their families through this project, it’s connectedness and the love that comes with it. When we were visiting Monash Children’s Hospital, we met this beautiful little infant superhero and her mum and nan. After receiving their turtle, scarf and socks, and watching Bryce go around to talk with and give gifts of love to all of the families in the clinic waiting area, this gorgeous little superhero’s mum came up to Bryce and said “I would like you to hold my little girl if that’s ok. I’ve seen the love you’re sharing with everyone and I’d like you to hold her so she can feel it from you directly.” Bryce shyly said “I’ve never held a little baby before.” And the mum said “well then it will be very special for both of you.” And he did. And it soooo was. Cancer journeys can be so dark and isolating; here we so beautifully see the love and light we’re trying to share through the project. We hope superheroes feel connectedness and love every time they touch, light up and fall asleep with their Super Max the Turtles. We hope every parent and carer feels connectedness and love when they touch and then wrap themselves up in their scarves and warm their feet in their socks. When we say we’re sending love through the stars, this is what we mean. Physical connectedness with lots of love radiating through it. There can never be enough of either on these journeys, as these pictures so beautifully illustrate. xoxo from everyone at Super Max & Bryce. 🥰🐢🌈🎗❤️🌟💛

More amazing news! This time for our incredible supporters from the USA!
Our dear friends who are a constant source of inspiration at the MaxLove Project are selling our gorgeous 2019 Super Max & Bryce “Happiness” themed scarves and socks for us (see website address below). Every time you purchase one of these star-covered and love-filled items, you’ll be giving one to a parent or carer of a little superhero in treatment for a life-threatening cancer or haematology related illness in Australia or New Zealand. With autumn right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to purchase these super soft Annabel Trends gifts that come with, and give to so many, endless love through the stars. A very special thanks to the beautiful Cameron family for modelling these stunning scarves (William is the gorgeous young man who painted the happiness watercolour for us). With love to everyone through the stars

BIG NEWS (about a little turtle)!!!! For the first time ever, you can now purchase Cloud b Super Max the Turtles here in Australia!!! Thanks to our partners at Cloud b and Annabel Trends you can now purchase these gorgeous little turtle night lights, as well as any of our Super Max & Bryce scarves and socks, through the “giving back” section of the Annabel Trends website (see address below). Known as the little turtle with a big heart, these gorgeous night lights will fill any room with comfort and rainbow love. Because they are little and can be easily wiped down and sanitised, they are the perfect way to say “I love you” to any child (and most adults). You’re never to old for a Super Max the Turtle and the connection it brings to all of us through the stars. They have red, green and blue star lights plus a light-rotating rainbow feature (see video above); they are battery operated (batteries included) and have a 45 minute automatic shut off (which is great for parents). To make these little turtles even more special, when you purchase one, you’ll also be gifting one to a little superhero in treatment here in Australia or New Zealand through our project... yet another gift of love. With immense gratitude and lots of love for our friends at Cloud b and Annabel Trends for making this possible. xoxo

superhero smiles

Here are the three videos in a series we've created called Superhero Smiles. Through this series, we share heartwarming pictures of the gorgeous smiles that radiate from the super strong and incredibly brave superheroes when they receive their Super Max the Turtle gifts.

Our first video is dedicated to superhero Alliarna, who lost her battle against cancer one month after we received her picture. She will always be remembered for her beautiful spirit and kindhearted nature. Our second video is dedicated to superhero Brooke, a fierce fighter who defied the odds by living long enough to see her second birthday as she battled against two rare and aggressive cancers. Her bravery was beyond inspirational and keeps us working as hard as we can to support research to find a cure. Our third video is dedicated to all of the superheroes out there whose smiles are brighter than the sun. The smiles in these videos remind us of why we're doing this. They are the hope and light of this journey. We are connected together on this journey by the love, hope, happiness and comfort that radiates through every turtle star light and every superhero smile.
