My Story…

The beginning of 2017 has brought a fourth relapse with Marlows' cancer and more time spent at Sick Kids then we had hoped. There is not a day we spend at Sick Kids Hospital without being greeted by warm OOCH friends, smiles and adventures. OOCH staff and volunteers bring a warmth and glow to our time spent in hospital, a time that can otherwise be dull and difficult. This time with OOCH is recognized and encouraged by the entire medical team. They view time with OOCH as an important aspect to Marlow"s care and healing. This support is unconventional and unique. Her medical team and nursing staff routinely work around OOCH events to ensure her attendence. I run for Camp OOCH as my pledge to help them continue their amazing journey to make my daughter and her friends better despite the difficult road they must walk as children with cancer. Camp OOCHigeas has become our friend and family over the last 4 years. I guess some would say, I wish we had never met OOCH, but I know that our life will forever be changed because of them and forever better with them in it. I have always considered OOCH to be our shining star during a very dark night. Please help me to support them and continue the magic of OOCH.
