I'm so excited to be participating in the 2025 CHOC Walk in the Park presented by Disneyland® Resort on Sunday, August 3, to raise funds for CHOC in honor of my beloved daughter, Sophia.

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.

CHOC helped my family navigate the NICU experience when our daughter was born, making the traumatic experience as easy as possible with their warmth, positivity, encouragement, and coaching through Sophia’s development. The CHOC team brings in the kind and gentle humanity despite how dire or bleak the situation is by connecting NICU families together, and allowing parents to bond with staff over the shared goal of helping Sophia thrive in order to go home.

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

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

With Gratitude,

Catherine
