7th Annual Walk a Fun-Filled Time

If perfect weather, smiling faces, fabulous friends and family, great music, great food and a great walk in the park makes your day, what better place could there have been to experience all that and more than at the 7th Annual Southern California Chapter Scleroderma Walkathon in La Mirada Regional Park. 

Thanks to the ongoing interest and efforts of  Supervisor Don Knabe of the 4th District, the Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation, and all the wonderful teams, volunteers and exhibitors who made the much anticipated event possible, attendees had a great time enjoying the walk around the lake, through the trees and along the rolling pathways of La Mirada before settling down in shaded grassy areas to enjoy a delicious lunch provided by Baja Fresh and listen to the music of local band PCH, which provided aural inspiration for the day. In addition, as a very special thank you, VIP’s who raised $1,000 or more for their teams were acknowledged and treated to a relaxing massage and smoothie from Jamba Juice, who set up a promotional booth in the park.  

Wherever you looked, children were giggling and screaming, occupied by the bounce house and mega slide, their laughter heard throughout the park, their faces adorned with butterflies and dragons, all thanks to the wonderful services of a talented face painter. The kids weren’t the only happy young participants at the park.  There were puppies and dogs as well, many wearing the colors of their teams, showing their support and companionship to their owners, as well as interacting with anyone willing to give them attention.

Once again, the annual Walkathon was a fun-filled, beautiful day, and a perfect way for people to show their support for the Southern California Chapter of the Scleroderma Foundation.
