When you think of what a 12-year-old boy might do in his free time, you probably think of video games, bike riding or shooting hoops. You probably would not think of sewing teddy bears. One young man does just that, however, and he does it for a good cause.
Campbell Remess, age 12, hails from Tasmania. Three years ago, he got hooked on a new hobby: sewing teddy bears. When he’s done with them, he brings them to the hospital to give them to sick children.
Mom Sonia says, ““If Campbell could be on that sewing machine 24/7, he would. Campbell is just wired differently.”

Remess can make a teddy bear in about an hour. He’s already made more than 800 bears. Every Thursday, he goes to the local children’s hospital and tries to cheer up kids who are sad and scared.

Remess knows what it’s like to have an illness. His father was stricken with cancer five years ago. “Cancer gets worse with stress, so I made him the bear, so he could get rid of the cancer,” said the young man.
He’s been making bears for sick people ever since. “I’ve just hijacked mum’s machine since,” Remess said, laughing. “She hasn’t got it back.”
Creative and kind– too bad more people aren’t wired like Campbell Remess.
