Welcome to my CHOC Walk Fundraising Page!

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 2016, we formed Team Super Desmond after we went through a traumatic birth experience with our son, Desmond. Immediately after birth, he was rushed over to CHOC to receive specialized treatments only available there, and that was the beginning of CHOC becoming an integral part of our family's life.
Desmond spent 53 days at CHOC before he was a year old, from the NICU to the CVICU, and the PICU to the Neurology Unit. We've spent hundreds of hours in their Rehab department for outpatient physical and feeding therapy, along with countless other doctor visits at their Clinic to see one of many specialists who follow him for his various medical conditions. His main diagnosis is Cerebral Palsy caused by his traumatic birth.
Luckily this past year was much smoother than the prior year for Des and his health, so we didn't need to spend as much time at CHOC--just a handful of inpatient stays for neurology monitoring and illness, plus all the usual doctor visits and treatments. With the help of the amazing CHOC team, we were able to get his seizures back under control using the right combination of meds with fewer side effects. And his respiratory issues and hospitalizations significantly decreased as a result.
The doctors, nurses, therapists and staff at CHOC have done so much for Des and our family the past 9 years. We like to give back by joining their Walk every year and raising much needed funds for this phenomenal cause!
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 like Des 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--just like ours!
With Gratitude,
Allison (Team Super Desmond Captain and Desmond's Mom)
