My Story…

The last time I ran this race was 10 years ago, when my son was only 8 months old and iPhones were just becoming popular. I ran that race in 1:05:50 which I thought was pretty good after having given birth just 8 months ago and I was still breastfeeding. Fast forward 10 years later, I would have never imagined I’d be training for a full marathon and running this 10k as a training run. I’ve signed up to be in the 53-55 minute corral and I’m confident, with all the training I’m doing, that I’ll be running it in under 1 hour, hopefully even under 55-minutes! Plus, it’s a downhill course so that helps too! The Sporting Life 10k is a fundraiser for Camp Ooch which is a camp for kids with cancer. I would like to invite you to join my journey and help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K

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.
