Welcome to my CHOC Walk Fundraising Page!

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 CHOC! This will be our 10th year supporting this amazing cause, so it'll be an extra special one for us and we want to go BIG!
In 2016, we formed Team Super Desmond after I had a traumatic birth experience. Immediately after birth, I was rushed over to CHOC to receive specialized treatments only available there, and that was the beginning of CHOC becoming an integral part of my life.
I spent 53 days at CHOC before I was a year old, from the NICU to the CVICU, and the PICU to the Neurology Unit. I'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 me for my various medical conditions. My main diagnosis is Cerebral Palsy caused by the traumatic birth.
Luckily this past year has been one of the healthiest I've ever had (despite a pretty big growth spurt), so we didn't need to spend as much time at CHOC--just a couple inpatient stays for neurology monitoring, plus all the usual doctor visits and treatments. But we credit a smooth year to the amazing CHOC team who continues to monitor me closely and support us through all of our ups and downs.
The doctors, nurses, therapists and staff at CHOC have done so much for me and our family the past 10 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 me 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:
-Donating now by clicking the "Donate" button above or
-Joining me at this year's event at the Disneyland® Resort by registering here
Many thanks in advance for helping us write a new future for so many children and their families--just like ours!
With Gratitude,
Super Desmond
