Help Kelly 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/2096796

My Story…

This amazing organization has provided a life changing camper experience for my brother, an unforgettable summer staffing opportunity for me, and an unimaginable volunteer experience for myself, brother and father. But on a much more important scale, Camp Ooch lets children with cancer focus on who they are instead of what they have by providing fun and meaningful year-round programming at no cost to their families. My $250 goal is only a small fraction of the $3500 cost to send a single child to residential camp for a session, but every bit counts. Luckily I have seen first hand what even a few days of engagement with Camp Ooch can do for a child with cancer, and my hope is to continuously support this magical place.

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.
