No more tears

Can you believe that just moments before this photo was taken, this little boy was in tears? You will note he has a bandaid on his right arm? This is because Charlie just had a blood test as part of the ENDIA Study. We aim to take a blood test from each child twice a year. Charlie has had a blood test at every study visit and he's been involved for years! This one must have been a bit ouchy. But when his ENDIA nurse gave him a box of Lego, his tears dried up! The Lego is such a hit with our little research participants, and leaves them with a positive memory of their study visits (and even maybe looking forward to coming back for the next one!)

Thanks Good360 and LEGO.
