Welcome to my Walk & Play L.A. page! I am excited to be part of the ninth annual Walk & Play L.A. in support of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

More children receive care from CHLA than any other hospital in the region—and often CHLA comes to the rescue when other hospitals run out of medical options or don’t have the expertise to treat young patients. Walk & Play L.A. supports the only hospital solely dedicated to the health of children in Los Angeles. 

The team "Spirit Sprinters" supports CHLA's Spiritual Care Department which provides emotional and spiritual support to our patients, families and staff. 

While doctors and nurses focus on expert medical care, our Spiritual Care team delivers a different type of healing—holistic care integrating mind, body and spirit. Our Interfaith Chaplains help patients and their loved ones of all or no particular faith cope with illness and listen to concerns with compassion. 

Spirituality can be a source of great strength in times of crisis, such as a child’s hospitalization. Every year, the Spiritual Care Team provides support and comfort through almost 20,000 interactions with patients and families.

Here are a few ways you can get involved:

• Donate to help me reach my fundraising goal.
• Sign up for this exciting event and create your own fundraising page for Walk & Play L.A.!

I hope you’ll consider a donation to Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference in the lives of many young patients and their families. Any amount will be greatly appreciated and will help further CHLA’s mission to create hope and build healthier futures. 

Thank you!
