Sometimes, all it takes to make a difference is the spark of a good idea. 

Several years ago, Eleanor Meiner wanted to help her husband, Sam, remember some of the magic of his childhood Easters. 

She rented a bunny suit, grabbed a bunch of stuffed bunnies and headed for a local children’s hospital. After seeing how much of an impact those simple toys had on children who were stuck in the hospital for the holidays, they knew they could — and had to — do more. 

Now, each year, they ship 15,000 hospital-certified bunnies to children’s hospitals and pediatric wards in the U.S., Canada and England, enlisting the help of local sheriff’s deputies to deliver the bunnies.
