As a child who needed CHOC on stand-by when I was born. When I was in the womb I loosened the meconium plug and meconium was lodged in my throat. CHOC sent a team of doctors down to Saddleback as I was unstable to be transferred to them. They saved my life by flushing the meconium from my lungs. The doctors were on stand-by in case I needed open-heart surgery. Since then I have participated with my family in the CHOC Walk since it was at the South Coast Plaza. So I am excited to be returning to walk in the 2025 CHOC Walk in the Park presented by Disneyland® Resort on Sunday, August 3, to raise funds for CHOC!

I can't wait to reunite with our Walk community for an early morning stroll through Disneyland® park and Disney California Adventure® park. You won't want to miss this one-of-a-kind experience filled with special entertainment and surprises before the parks open to the public.

Every dollar raised from this magical event will support health care programs, education, and research at CHOC and CHOC at Mission Hospitals. More than two million children a year depend on CHOC. And our community's generosity is what provides access to the best possible care and services. 

You can help me exceed my fundraising goal for the benefit of the children's health and well-being by:

- Using RaiseRight for E-Gift Cards https://www.raiseright.com/shop
-Donating to my personal or another team member https://www.chocwalk.org/mousewalkersforchoc

-Joining me at this year's event at the Disneyland® Resort by registering here

Many thanks in advance for helping us write a new future for so many children and their families. 

With Gratitude,

Kaci
