Assembly – Matt von Trott | Blip – Lightyears From Home

Every child’s recovery is a starlit journey—fraught with cosmic detours but brimming with hope. Hospitals United for Sick Kids rallies a galaxy of hospitals, heroes, and cutting-edge care to shrink the distance between illness and homecoming. For all kids and all battles, they fuel breakthroughs and comforts that transform “lightyears” into “just a little longer.”

For children like Blip, adrift in the quiet void of hospital rooms, home can feel like a distant star. This campaign doesn’t just bring them back—it reignites galaxies of childhood’s everyday magic: sidewalk scrapes, pillow forts, and laughter that spills into hallways.Every contribution builds bridges across the unknown, turning “lightyears” into moments where home glows, warm and close. Together, let’s rewrite their stories with constellations of soon—where recovery orbits brighter, and childhood shines undimmed.
