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/2092164
My Story…
It is now less than two weeks until the Sporting Life 10K in support of Camp Oochigeas. I registered for the race in January, but may be sidelined again this year. While I feel a bit sheepish in reaching out to you when I may not even be able to run, I would regret not attempting to raise money for this amazing cause.
As you know, I work every day with kids that benefit immensely from attending camp. Ooch gives children with cancer a chance to enjoy programs and activities that they would otherwise miss out on. Being diagnosed with and treated for malignancy is an enormous burden for both patients and their families; I have seen time at "Ooch" restore smiles to the faces of kids and their parents.
Even if I cannot head down Yonge Street on May 14, I will be volunteering on May 9 at kit pick-up as well as supervising the preparation of chemotherapy throughout the summer that gets sent up to Muskoka for campers. Any help you can provide is much appreciated. Thank you!
Description
Help send kids affected by cancer to Camp Ooch!
Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) provides children with and affected by childhood cancer with what they need most – the chance to be a kid. Ooch is the only residential camp in Ontario to offer on-site IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions providing access to campers in active treatment the friendship and fun of Camp. Operating 365 days a year, Ooch offers programs at a residential camp in Muskoka, at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), three other regional cancer centres and at Ooch Downtown in the heart of Toronto.
As a registered charity that receives no government funding, Ooch relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, individual and corporate donors like you.
