Hi friends & family,
On August 11, I am going to wake up at 4 in the morning so I can walk a very special 5k, the CHOC Walk, and I can't wait! This 5k is special because we'll walk in honor of our very special friend Jordan (Jojo) Kalua Cline. Jojo passed away last year in February. He was only 7 years old. Jojo was loved by our family and by all who knew him.
For those of you who don't know, Jojo battled a very rare disease, Mitochondrial Deletion Syndrome, which left his body constantly fighting to function. You would never know how severe his condition was when you met him though because he was always full of life and love. He loved to play with his brothers, ride horses and ski in Mammoth! While at home you would find him in a nerf gun or Star Wars battle or jumping on the trampoline. No matter how Jojo was feeling he always found the energy for his family and friends. He wanted to have a dance party for his 8th birthday and even wanted me to come! I know one day I'll have that dance party with him!
This walk raises money for the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) where Jojo was treated throughout his short life. I want to raise money in Jojo's honor, and help other kids be cared for at CHOC, just like Jojo was for his 7 amazing years of life.
Please help me raise money for this special hospital & all the work they do and the help they give to children! Every dollar counts!
Even though I'm only 2.5 years old, I know I can make a difference in this world by helping other people, and this is one way I can do so. :)
Thank you for helping me exceed my goal! It means a lot to so many children and their families.
Love,
Sienna
