Custom LEGO superheroes bring joy to kids at Holland Bloorview hospital

Alix Conte is building an army of LEGO-style superheroes for Holland Bloorview Capes for Kids campaign to support children and youth with disabilities and developmental differences.

For every $100 donated, he designs, 3D prints and builds a custom superhero to give to kids at the hospital. His goal was to make 40 of them, which works out to $4,000 in donations — and he’s already surpassed his goal.

Make no mistake, this is a labour of love. Each one is made up of over 1,000 pieces and takes him four hours to build.
