Oh, That Funny Pun One!

Children's Hospital Oakland says...

“If laughter is medicine for the soul, then our resident funny man, PUN, is just what the doctor ordered. PUN has been a magician in our hospital for more than five years, entertaining kids with magic and fun! PUN, a former Hollywood game show producer, began volunteering in children's hospitals in his 30s and soon realized that bringing out the love already in the room was the real magic. "I just do tricks," he says, "but when I get the whole family laughing, that's the #magic for me." 

Pun says...

Posted on my Face Book Page with gratitude to UCSF Benioff Oakland for allowing me to witness the resourcefulness and caring of theTeachers, Child Life Specialists, Therapists, and Medical Staff and - most important - the CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. The pictures remind us that the children can still be children; still laugh and feel loved, even when experiencing challenges to their health and well-being. Whatever difference it might make, there would be no PUN if not for the inherently powerful children and the dedicated professionals who support them during their individual journeys.

So proud of this man who has honed his skills of using JUST the right amount of silly to help kids and their families cope with challenges posed by hospital stays away from home, away from familiar routines. Pun lights up faces, melts hearts, and offers one of the best medicines known to humans...

Laughter.

Thank you, Pun for your humanity and forty-eight years of laughter and tears together, plus all the stuff in between. 

I Love You!
