Our perfect little guy, Aiden, spent his whole life in the NICU. He was born in Palm Springs, and transported to Loma Linda where he stayed for two months. When the opportunity presented itself, he was transported to CHOC. CHOC went above and beyond to be sure our family had special experiences with Aiden while he was with us. They had an intimate Thanksgiving dinner, arranged photo shoots, and threw an end of life party for him. When Aiden went into palliative care, they provided us with a secluded private room that fit our giant family. The amazing nurses and staff where there to help create memories that we will cherish and carry with us for the rest of our lives.

We would like to help other families create memories and make their time with their babies special. 

For this year’s birthday celebration, 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!

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:

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

With Gratitude,

Ava
