  The First Annual Kids Helping Kids     
  Walk ‘N Roll To Benefit Children’s Specialized Hospital

 “Before Children’s Specialized, people never saw me as a person.”  One sweet little girl summed it up in one simple sentence as she walked determinedly on her hot pink crutches with a group of new friends.  
The place: the Jersey Gardens Mall.  The event: The First Annual Kids Helping Kids Walk ‘N Roll To Benefit Children’s Specialized Hospital (CSH) Foundation, an affiliate member of the Robert Wood Johnson Health System.

Hundreds of teens, kids and adults gathered at the Mall for 
this very special event that was planned to help the occupational therapy program at CSH.

Children’s Specialized held special place in Mischa’s heart since he spent four months there after his yearlong hospitalization in 1997.  As the largest pediatric rehabilitation hospital in the country, Children’s Specialized offers an excellent occupational therapy program that helps a kid get ready to reenter the world after an illness or injury has shattered his or her life.
The Walk’N Roll was hosted by popular radio DJ, John Bell of Z100’s Z Morning Zoo and the Z100 Party Patrol.  Besides the 2-mile walk, the event featured a fashion show featuring Miss Latina New Jersey and Miss Teen Latina New Jersey plus benefit concerts by an extraordinary local New Jersey high school jazz band and a very special performance by Daniel McBride, 13 Hands.







The Kids Helping Kids volunteers worked for months before the event recruiting volunteers to walk, getting people to pledge donation money, organizing jobs, trying to drum up support and contributions, all culminating in a fun filled day that far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
