A Good Cause - CHOC

I'm not an early person and had to wake up at 5am for the CHOC walk at Disneyland this past Sunday (CHOC = Children's Hospital of Orange County). Although it was early I was excited to do the walk with my sister, nephew, niece, and Reggie.

It is a huge event and thousands of people participate each year. This was my second year doing the walk. Many people walk with signs in memory of a child they lost and I just am so thankful that Reggie has always recovered from his stays at the hospital and that he has not been hospitalized for almost 2 years now. Reggie stayed once at the Children's Hospital in Philadephia and and I am just amazed at the quality of care that you receive at the Children's Hospital vs. a local hospital's pediatric unit. That was the shortest stay Reggie ever had in any hospital and I know it is because of the wonderful staff they have. I'm sure CHOC is just as nice of a facility but I hope that I never have a reason to see it firsthand.
