Cap Hero: Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse has been delighting both adults and children since 1928. But for some of us, Mickey is more than entertainment. He’s a source of comfort. This is true for a shy but vibrant little boy named Leon who brought his stuffed Mickey to daycare with him every day and now wears his signed Mickey Mouse cap wherever he goes. 


Mickey once said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Keep on dreaming, Leon. You’ve got this!

“Never be ashamed of a scar for it simply means you are
stronger than what tried to hurt you.”
– Leon’s mom
