CHOC Walk

Every year La Purisima School has a team that joins thousands of people for a 3 mile walk through Disneyland and California Adventure to support CHOC Hospital.  We have gone the last few, and are making this a tradition.  This is the second walk for a cause my boys have done this year.  I am incredibly proud of them.  This requires them to get up at o'dawn early and go walk 3+ miles, usually after waiting a long while for the event to start.  But they are troopers and really understand the significance of what they are walking for.  As in the Revlon walk, my Aunt Irene joins us for this event as well.  This is fun because it is through Disneyland, and it's with a lot of their friends from school, so they have a great time.


The team asks us to wear our Cavalier spirit clothes -so Zachary is wearing his home football jersey and I am wearing his away jersey - fits perfect!  And yes, it is pretty dark at the start of the walk. Disney needs us to get through the walk and out of the park so they can open for all the paying guests!



Notice the banner on the team behind us - Zach's Team - had to get a photo of that!
