On Sunday, August 20, 2023, the CHOC Walk in the Park will be making its triumphant return after a hiatus and reimagining as an adventure due to the pandemic. When it returns, thousands of supporters will be gathering in the early hours of the morning to walk through Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Team Daps Magic will be once again participating in this event as has been the case for many years now. If you haven’t yet, join our team here: chocwalk.org/dapsmagic. If you need more convincing, here are three reasons to join Team Daps Magic and participate in the 2023 CHOC Walk in the Park!
1. Make a Difference
When you walk in the CHOC Walk you are becoming a part of a bigger movement that makes a difference for the kids who so desperately need and receive care from Children’s Hospital of Orange County. This makes the difference between having a future and not having a future. This isn’t something any child or family should have to face. The least we can do is be a part of the solution to help these families get through a very difficult time. When we walk in the CHOC Walk, this is what we are doing.
2. Exercise
The CHOC Walk in the Park is a 5K walk that takes participants around the Disneyland Resort. On top of the 5K walk, there is also the walk to and from the parking structure in the morning. Also, if there are any photo ops that need some extra walking, that leads to extra exercise, right? There are plenty of documented health benefits that come with walking so this could lead to better health, stamina, and more! Everybody wins, right!?
3. Fun
The CHOC Walk in the Park really is a lot of fun. Not only are you walking to make a difference with some of your closest friends and family (and other people who are also walking to make a difference), you get to walk through the Disney theme parks. This isn’t just fun because you are walking through the parks. It is fun because there are quite often Disney characters and other magical moments found as we walk through the park. This year, in particular, will have some new magical moments to be experienced while walking through the parks…and maybe even some new places where the walk hasn’t gone before. Either way, we’ll be having a blast!
At the end (really the beginning) of the day, this really is about coming together to have some fun coming together to make a difference for an awesome local children’s hospital. Whatever reason that connects with you, we hope it will be enough to simply take the step and join our (or any) CHOC Walk team. Then, take a minute to invite a friend or family member (or several) to join you. The more people we get to walk, the more of a difference we can make!
