Happy Halloween

[L to R] Holly, Me, Liz and Mary

A small group of us, representing the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society went to Children’s Hospital in Oakland this afternoon to handout gifts during their Halloween parade. By all appearances, the children and their parents enjoyed and appreciated the gifts, and for at least an hour brightened their day. At least I hope so. For me it brought such joy, to give to the children. I know when my family spend Thanksgiving and Christmas at UCSF Hospital, it was a delight to see the staff celebrating, the halls decorated, and we even got into the spirt and decorated Sonny’s room with Christmas lights and a small tree; somehow the holidays were a bit brighter, even though the situation was horrible.

I must give credit where credit is do…my girlfriend Liz Doliver collected the gifts throughout the year, and coordinated the event with Children’s Hospital and the L&L Society.

Great Job Liz!!!
