International Childhood Cancer Day on February 15th holds significant importance by drawing attention to the challenges faced by children with cancer and their families. This year, LEGOLAND Germany has heightened awareness for this vital day with a heartfelt commitment at the Ulm Children's Hospital, creating unforgettable moments.
LEGOLAND Germany Commits on Childhood Cancer Day
The family amusement park made a strong statement of solidarity as its mascot, LEGOLAND® Girl, visited the Ulm Children's Hospital on International Childhood Cancer Day. Initiated in 2002, this action aims to raise awareness of the specific needs of children with cancer and their families. Encounters with young patients, including 3-year-old Anna, who, despite limitations due to her infusion stand, got the chance to hug LEGOLAND® Girl, symbolized moments of pure joy and hope.
Moments of Happiness and Support
The joy was palpable as LEGOLAND® Girl entered the communal room of the children's hospital. Children like Anna and Jonathan, who could not leave their room due to quarantine, experienced moments of happiness through personal visits and gifts. These special interactions, facilitated by the dedicated support of the hospital staff, showed LEGOLAND Germany's deep connection and commitment to standing by children during tough times.
LEGOLAND's Ongoing Commitment and Plans
Manuela Stone, the Managing Director of LEGOLAND Germany Resort, emphasized the significance of this action as an expression of the deep conviction that every child is entitled to joy. Beyond Childhood Cancer Day, the resort supports affected families through the Merlin's Magic Wand charity and commits to social projects, including the Purple Light Up campaign to promote accessibility. With further planned initiatives and the upcoming season starting on March 16th, LEGOLAND Germany reaffirms its commitment to an inclusive and supportive community.
A Shining Example of Hope and Support
The visit of LEGOLAND® Girl to the Ulm Children's Hospital on International Childhood Cancer Day exemplifies LEGOLAND Germany's dedication to providing joy and hope. This action emphasizes the importance of empathy, solidarity, and active support for children and families in need. With a continuous focus on social responsibility and inclusion, LEGOLAND Germany sets important accents for the future.
