Meet OLIUS
More than a soft toy, Olius is a symbol of courage, connection, and care.
• Named as an anagram of Louis, the world’s first heart transplant recipient.
• His eight comforting legs represent the child’s circle of support:
Family, friends, nurses, doctors, surgeons, school, Heart Heroes – and you.
• Comes with a personalised passport to track hospital visits and milestones.
Every child deserves to know they’re not alone.
Together, we can bring Olius to 1,000 little heroes.
We are featured in this week's Gloucester Citizen paper about it too - click here to view the article!
