From a Times Staff Writer

Children’s Hospital of Orange County announced Monday that its Oct. 8 Walk in the Park, held in conjunction with Disneyland, raised about $1 million, more than any other fundraiser in the hospital’s history.

An estimated 11,000 participants -- including community members, corporate teams and current or former patients with their families -- walked the 5K route through Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure to raise the funds for CHOC.

Proceeds from the annual event, a hospital spokeswoman said, will go to the Kids Care Fund benefiting clinical care, research and education at the hospital.
