Last year, I set a goal to raise $100,000 for CHOC and completed the Ironman Triathlon in Canada. Due to the generosity of my supporters, I not only met my goal, but surpassed it—raising nearly $110,000 for the CHOC Neuroscience Institute. Now, I’d like to do it again.

As some of you may know, our son Mason had a brain tumor removed by neurosurgeons at CHOC in 2004. The tumor removal was further complicated by hydrocephalus, which required a second surgery just 10 days later. It was a difficult time for our family, but Mason recovered beautifully. Today, I am thrilled to say that Mason is a happy, healthy little boy.

On July 8, I will be participating in the Ironman Triathlon in Austria—a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and 26.2-mile run—and I’m launching a campaign to bring in at least $100,000 for the CHOC Neuroscience Institute. Competing in the triathlon and raising money for CHOC is my way of honoring our son Mason and the team who took care of him when he was critically ill.

Since Mason’s surgery, my wife Ivette and I have become actively involved in CHOC; I currently serve as Vice Chair of the CHOC Foundation for Children Board of Directors. As a family, we are committed to helping make a difference for the children in Orange County.

To help me reach my goal, I would deeply appreciate any amount you are able to give. Just think, if only 286 people give a generous, charitable gift of $350 each—or if 200 people give $500 each—we can raise $100,000 to support the CHOC Neuroscience Institute.

Your contributions are sincerely appreciated. The support I received last year really helped keep me going through the long months of training, and proved to me that together we really can make a difference.

Many thanks,

Mark Moses
Vice Chair, CHOC Foundation for Children Board of Directors
