My Story…

For a 4th straight year, I am participating in the Sporting Life 10K to support Camp Ooch - a camp for kids affected by childhood cancer. Of all the runs I do, this is by far my favorite and very dear to me. As an adult I have been on the other end of that chemo bag and it is no picnic. Ooch givea these kids an opporunity to get away from the hospitals and experience the pure joys of being a kid. Please consider supporting me on this run - any amount will help - to surpass my fundraising goal! Much love and appreciation - E

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.
