Help Brigette raise money

For participating in Sporting Life 10k - Toronto 2017

Help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K https://raceroster.com/events/2017/6186/sporting-life-10k-toronto-2017/pledge/participant/2074691

My Story…

This is my first time running the 10K - or any 10K, but I look forward to being a very small part in a very big and wonderful initiative. This run is close to my heart, and I look forward to finally participating. My dear cousin Daniel had the wonderful opportunity of going to Camp Ooch and had a great time - as a kid who went to camp myself I know the value of experiencing the independence, freedom and fun that it allows, and for kids like my cousin Daniel I think this is especially true. Sadly, Dan lost his battle with cancer on May 18, 2016, but I will be running along side his mom as we celebrate his life and help other kids like him experience the joy that Camp Ooch can bring. I would appreciate any donation amount you are able to provide to help these brave kids have an experience all children should be afforded.
