Everyone had lots of fun at this year’s Pediatric Brain Tumour Network (PBTN) Halloween Party held on Oct 17 (Sat). Both children and adults dressed up in elaborate costumes and joined in online. The participants enjoyed activities such as pumpkin carving and making halloween themed treats.
I think that although it would be better to meet and interact in person for an event like this, I actually felt closer to the participants on the other side of the screen this year than compared with last year’s Halloween Party. At these types of events, staying on schedule and keeping up with the energy of the children is always a challenge, but since this time was online, it was easier to remember everyone’s names and faces from watching the screen. I look forward to the day when we can rejoice together in person and embrace one another. Special thanks to all the volunteers for their great support and making our first online event a success!
