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/2096795
My Story…
I'm running the Sporting Life 10K for the fourth time, in support of Camp Ooch. I volunteer year-round with Ooch in Toronto, and this will be my 8th year volunteering as a summer counselor up in Muskoka.
As you may know, I'm also a teen cancer survivor, and went to Ooch for 3 years. You can see some of my story at http://youtu.be/tFv9YYFWlYM
My biggest take-home about Ooch is that it's a place where kids can be normal. You get away from the medical tests, the procedures, and everything that's limiting you as a childhood cancer patient. It's a place where people understand what you're going through - you can just let go and be a kid again.
I'm hoping to raise $1,750, the cost of sending a kid to camp for a week and I'd love any support you're able to give!
Thanks so much!
-Eric
