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/2085370
My Story…
As you know, our daughter Maya was diagnosed with cancer [Neuroblastoma] at the age of 4. Our world as we knew it was turned upside down.
We spent countless days, weeks, months in hospitals rooms fighting cancer. Maya was often in isolation due to her low immune system. Ooch volunteers would gown up and come to visit Maya, they would do crafts, sing or just talk. I could see joy in Maya's eyes. We lived to see her smile during those dark days.
Later she started to attend Camp Ooch overnight summer camp. Maya LOVED IT, and still does. In fact it was the only camp she could attend. It is staffed with doctors and nurses, and ooch volunteers, most of them Maya knew from her long stays at SickKids hospital. Even though Maya was away we felt at peace as we knew she was well taken care of. Maya could be herself, she was at home, her home, all the other campers like her knew what cancer was all about.
Thank you,
Kirby and Indira Kim
