Every year the CHOC Walk Ambassador. This is a person who is chosen to represent CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County) at the CHOC Walk in the Park and other events throughout the year. This year’s ambassador is Belle Wuich.
Belle’s journey at CHOC saw her facing and conquering neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that starts in early nerve cells called neuroblasts and forms solid tumors. This took 17 months and saw her missing her entire freshman year of high school. Throughout the course of her treatment, she had 18 rounds of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, 20 radiation treatments, and two major surgeries. She continues to have weekly physical therapy treatments at CHOC’s Rehabilitation Center.
“I can’t imagine what my journey would’ve been like at any other hospital,” says Belle. “I’ve been profoundly changed and impacted by all of the incredible CHOC staff members who have become part of my family.”
The announcement was made on social media with the following post:
Belle continues to advocate for CHOC. She is active in the philanthropically funded Richard C. and Virginia A. Hunsaker Adolescent and Young Adult Child Life Cancer Program. This program connects pediatric cancer patients through their shared experiences.
Bell continues to focus on the positive and makes the best of everything life throws her way, even though her cancer journey was what she called a wild ride. She will be leading thousands of walkers on August 3, 2025, as they walk through the parks for the 2025 CHOC Walk in the Park.
Daps Magic will be one of the many teams that will be walking through the parks as a part of the CHOC Walk. The Daps Magic team comes together for this fun and meaningful day each year to help raise funds for the hospital and the kids who receive treatment there. CHOC also supports the families who are supporting these kids. The kids and their families who are at CHOC don’t just receive medical treatment, but care for the individual so that they still can be kids.
Having a child in the hospital is a terrifying thing. Being a child in a hospital is also very scary. Please join Daps Magic in helping make a positive difference with this very important cause. Join the Daps Magic team at chocwalk.org/dapsmagic today!
