We are 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 in honor of our son Waylon.

CHOC holds a very special place in our hearts. When Waylon underwent open-heart surgery, he received incredible care from the medical team at CHOC. The compassion, expertise, and support they provided carried our family through one of the hardest experiences we've ever faced. Because of the care Waylon received, he is thriving today, and we are forever grateful to the doctors, nurses, and staff who made such a difference in his life.

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

You can help us exceed our family's 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,

The Perkin Family
