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!

Superhero smiles. Meet superhero Mia, with a smile brighter and warmer than the sun. She received her Super Max the Turtle, and her cancer diagnosis, just a few days before her fourth birthday. To Mia and all of the brave, beautiful superheroes and their superfamilies, we’re sending you love, hope, happiness and comfort every single day through those little turtle star lights. There can never be too much love.

Happy international superheroes day. Thank you to the crew at Marvel for creating this day. We think the superheroes who sleep with turtles are braver than all of the Marvel superheroes put together. With love through the stars.

Thank you to everyone reading this for the love we know you send through the stars every day. We received this beautiful picture and note this morning: “Last year we received one of your turtles for our eldest daughter. She just finished chemotherapy as her little sister started it. Bless her heart, as I was packing for a last minute fever trip her big sis popped it in the bag for her. It gave comfort to both of us last night 😘 Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts xxx.” We know you are with us sending love to this gorgeous superfamily with two brave and strong superhero daughters. And we are grateful beyond words for everyone who supports us in sharing the warmth and comfort that these little turtles provide. With love through the stars.

We thought we’d share some of the things Super Max the Turtle is doing during his stay-at-home isolation with the hope that it will inspire some fun activities for all of you, whether you’re in the hospital or at home. Here’s what he’s doing in the attached pictures: (1) drawing a picture card for people he loves (the mail still works so sending cards is a wonderful way to share love with people you can’t physically visit), (2) playing games (Super Max is really good at UNO), (3) being “it” for the old classic “hide and seek”, (4) looking for things/images in the clouds (you can do this from most hospital beds/rooms), (5) eating the cars that go by with a sock or potholder (this is a great one to do through a window), (6) making words out of tissues (it’s not as easy as it looks) and then making sure you flatten them back out to use them later (no waste) and, finally, (7) playing games over the internet with your family and/or friends (Super Max would like to thank Bryce’s friends for including him). With love through the stars to everyone.

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.
