My Story…

On Sunday, May 14th, my family and I will be walking and running the Sporting Life 10kms to support Camp Ooch. Why am I fund raising for Camp Ooch? Two years ago, my nephew Matthew was diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma and spent many months at Sick Kids going through cancer treatments. To boost his spirits, he attended so many of the Camp Ooch activities being run at the hospital. Now cancer free, Matthew continues to attend so many activities being run by Camp Ooch, and has also had an opportunity to go to camp. This camp is a place to celebrate the bravery and spirit of the kids that go through so much, and where kids can be just that…. KIDS. Please helping me in achieving my fund raising goal and donate to this amazing organization!
