Help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K https://raceroster.com/events/2018/14699/sporting-life-10k-toronto-2018/pledge/participant/3367925
My Story…
I am hoping for your support with the Camp Ooch Sporting Life 10K. I have been volunteering at Ooch for 10 years and seen this magical place change young children’s lives. It is one of the only places where these kids can actually act like kids and where their cancer experience does not make them an outcast…or the kid who is different than everyone else. I have been fortunate enough to teach kids how to swim for the first time, take young boys/youth on canoe trips, teach guitar/ukulele, and go rock climbing just to name a few. I have not met a parent of a camper who does not believe that Camp Ooch did not change their child’s life in a positive way. On a personal note, my niece Emily who was diagnosed with cancer at age 4 developed selective mutism disorder and actually stopped speaking for almost 2 years. Camp ooch was instrumental in getting her personality back and making her feel safe enough to be herself again.
Description
Help send kids affected by childhood cancer to Camp Ooch!
Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) provides children with and affected by childhood cancer with what they need most – the chance to be kids. Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer on-site IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, we offer programs year-round in Muskoka, at SickKids, and various other cancer centres and cities across Ontario.
As a registered charity that receives no government funding, Ooch relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, individuals and corporate donors, like you.
Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year. However, 79% of kids with cancer in Ontario still can't go to Camp. You can help change that!
Cancer changes a child's life. So does Camp. And so can you.
