I'm so excited to be participating in the 2026 CHOC Walk in the Park presented by Disneyland® Resort on Sunday, August 2, to raise funds for Rady Children's Health, formerly CHOC!
 

This organization is especially meaningful to our office and many of the families we serve. We have seen firsthand the impact that access to quality healthcare can have on children and their loved ones during some of life's most challenging moments.
 

Every dollar raised from this magical event supports healthcare programs, education, and research at Rady Children's Health. More than two million children each year depend on the care, services, and support they provide. The generosity of our community helps ensure that children and families can access the best possible care when they need it most.
 

I firmly believe that every child deserves access to exceptional healthcare, regardless of their family's circumstances. While a child's health journey can already be overwhelming, organizations like Rady Children's Health help ease some of the burden by providing critical resources, innovative treatments, and compassionate care that change lives every day.
 

If you are in a position to do so, I would be incredibly grateful for your support. I also recognize that many people are navigating financial challenges of their own right now, so please only consider donating if it makes sense for you and your family. Every contribution—large or small—makes a difference.
 

And if a donation isn't possible at this time, sharing this fundraiser is another wonderful way to help. Raising awareness can help this fundraiser reach someone who may be able to support the cause and allows more people to learn about the incredible work being done for children and families in our community.
 

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

With Gratitude,

Kim Thergesen
