My Story…

Dear friends and family, On May 14th, I will be running (and maybe partially walking) in the Sporting Life race for Camp Ooch. All of the proceeds from the race go to Camp Oochigeas (Ooch), a place that is very dear to my sweet nephew and Emma's cousin Nate. In 2009, Nate was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer, stage 4. After endless treatments, procedures and surgeries, Nate is cancer free and just turned 10! He is a true warrior and superhero. One of his favourite places is Camp Ooch. Nate has said, he feels like he fits in there, that he has “found his place” in the world. With this organization being so dear to Nate, I would so appreciate your sponsorship/donation. With heartfelt gratitude, Marilyn Almeida

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.
