Pediatric Patients Get New Toys as Florida Children’s Hospital Celebrates Five Years of Jarrett’s Joy Cart

WHO:

For five years now, patients at Florida Children’s Hospital have been excited to get surprises from a colorful cart filled with toys… Jarrett’s Joy Cart.

Come see the smiles on kids’ faces as they get to choose a toy to help brighten their day.

BACKGROUND:
He only lived to be 13 years old, but Jarrett Mynear had more life-fulfilling experiences than most people do in a lifetime. At the age of 10, after spending years in the hospital battling bone cancer, Mynear came up with “Jarrett’s Joy Cart” – a special cart filled with popular toys donated by local companies that would be given out to patients in children’s hospitals. The toy delivery became so wildly popular that it was featured on both the Rosie O’Donnell Show and Oprah.
