On Sunday, October 14, I ventured where no Miss Ventura County has ventured before....
DISNEYLAND!!
The Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) had their annual Walk in the Park, and I thought it would be awesome to represent Ventura County and walk to raise funds for the hospital and its many programs and facilities for children. The walk started in Disney's California Adventure and circled through Downtown Disney, Disneyland, and then made a loop into Disneyland's back lot and back into Downtown Disney. The funds raised from the walk went to ensure that any child with dire health needs would not be turned away for the family's inability to pay! =)
I left Ventura County at 4 a.m. to get to the park for check-in by 6 a.m.! While wandering around, I ran into two of my fellow Miss America Organization titleholders: Carly Valdez, Miss Southland 2012, and Sarah Silberman, Miss Fullerton's Outstanding Teen 2012! They invited me to join their team (
Team ZoBear!) in support of a wonderful little girl named Zoe, who- thanks to the doctors and nurses at CHOC- has started third grade cancer-free!! She's such a fun girl, it was SO much fun walking with her team! Click on the link above to check out her team page, where you can read more about her story, her association with CHOC, and donate to the cause!
Overall, the walk was a VERY fun morning filled with music, laughter, walking for a great cause-
and of course, Mickey Mouse!! =D
