Mike, Tina, babies and I walked the CHOC Walk at Disneyland this year. Jokingly, when I filled out the registration information, I said we did it in honor of Van, since she was saved by CHOC as an infant from milk allergies. The truth is, we did it because (1) it’s in Disneyland…I’m not gonna lie, (2) we donate to CHOC every year anyways around Christmas time, so might as well get some exercise out of it (3) the most important: to remind ourselves how lucky we are to have two healthy, thriving infants when others were not so fortunate…and by supporting this organization, we can help give future families a chance to be just as fortunate as we are. Children are a gift — we want to make sure nobody takes that away from those who deserve them.
We plan on walking CHOC every year. It’s a beautiful walk since it’s through the Happiest Place on Earth and it’s definitely for a good cause. Call us if you’d like to join us next year!
