I am privileged to meet the kids and teens I interview, and I am honored to walk with families for a very short time on their long journeys. I am inspired not just by their boundless creativity, strength and positivity, but by the artists from around the world who open their hearts to our initiative. I look forward to many more years and many more characters to come!

Each of these one-of-a-kind characters below (and many others) were conceptualized by young patients at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, as part of The Superhero Project. In fact, over 200 kids and teens with disabilities or serious illnesses have described their superhero alter-egos to us – what they stand for, who they fight for, what they need to make the world a better place. We believe that these young people are superheroes themselves – whether facing a critical medical issue or a lifelong disability, they demonstrate courage and strength, facing each battle with energy and determination. They inspire their families with their resilience and optimism and faith and fortitude – and The Superhero Project recognizes that by creating characters who embody their fighting spirits.
We are truly inspired by the hundreds of kids we’ve met and by the generosity of the talented artists who share their gifts. We are honored to share time with families going through difficult times and are thrilled that they find the experience meaningful and a source of joy.
Volunteers welcome! Are you interested in creating a character for The Superhero Project? E-mail a sample of your work to Lisa Kollins at ''sidekicksohio@gmail.com'' or to find out more, view our website at [http://www.sidekicksohio.org www.sidekicksohio.org]
