Bald Cartoons, a campaign from Brazilian hospital and cancer charity GRAACC, gave the characters a makeover in hopes of comforting kids with cancer and sending a message that "a child with cancer deserves to be seen just like any other child." The campaign, which featured a few characters in its November launch, recently expanded to 40 in honor of Cancer Awareness Week.
