Getting ready for our second CHOC Walk

    We've signed up for our second CHOC Walk! The CHOC Walk is a 5K fundraiser for the Children's Hospital of Orange County. This year we decided to walk and fundraise as a team, Amaya's Goonies. Last year as a family we raised $450. This year we have a goal of $800. If you'd like to walk with us, sponsor us and/or spread the word we'd greatly appreciate it! Donations can e made online or by mailing checks to us and remember donations to CHOC are tax deductible.
    The walk will take place on Sunday October 13, 2013. The walk will begin in Main Street USA inside of Disneyland and continue on into California Adventure. The walk is a lot of fun and a great way to raise funds for another local Children's hospital. As you know, we've spent some time at Loma Linda Children's hospital for each of Amaya's surgeries.
  If you'd like to join our team or sponsor us visit www.chocwalk.org then click on "sponsor walker" then click on "donate to a team or walker."There you can look for our team, Amaya's Goonies. On our team page you can sponsor us as individuals (we have to raise at least $50 each) or join our team. If you have any questions feel free to email me at xochma29@yahoo.com.
    Thanks again for all your help and support along this journey. Below are some pictures from last years CHOC Walk.
Josh and the girls waiting for the walk to start. Amaya rolled through most of the walk last year. Amaya was cold and very sore at that point during her lengthening. 
And this is what will make this years walk so emotional for me. Knowing how much Amaya has endured, and overcome in a year! Last year during the walk she had a fixator on, had more therapy, healing and recovering to do. This year, things are different!

The girls loved seeing the different characters throughout the parks.
