Cheers, smiles and all things spooky at Riley Halloween costume parade

Cheers, smiles and all things spooky at Riley Halloween costume parade

After a 5-year hiatus, the Riley Halloween costume parade is back! Festively dressed team members lined the halls of the hospital, cheering on patients who were more than excited to show off their Halloween costumes. "I had a little friend with me who was leading the way and my cheeks hurt from smiling by the end," said Meg Sanders, Riley's Child Life special events supervisor. "I was so happy to be there and so excited to be celebrating Halloween and just seeing the joy on these kids' faces, not feeling like they're in the hospital today, it was really a heartwarming experience."
