Steven is a certified kidney dialysis RN. He has seen the theraputic value of laughter during the many years that he has been a nurse. With the support of his family as seen here, he is giving his time to the art of clowning.

My Dad lives with us, and he is our official, "on-call", 24/7 photographer.

I am Steven Bolstridge. I first began clowning years ago making balloon figures with the children at a wedding reception. Presently, I use as many of my days off as possible from my RN job in the hospital to visit the pediatrics ward. My purpose is to bring hope and laughter to the children there.
