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/3480700
My Story…
My nephew Nate, a warrior extraordinaire, was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma cancer in 2009 and was in treatment for 5 years. Thankfully, he has now been cancer free for 6 years. During his treatment, Nate had the opportunity to attend Camp Ooch where he could feel like a kid again, have fun and forget the treatment ordeal he was living through. Even now, Nate attends overnight camp in the winter and two weeks in the summer. Camp Ooch provides a safe and super fun environment for children dealing with cancer and unfortunately does not receive any government funding. That is why I am participating in the 10 KM Sporting Life race, in support of Camp Ooch and I am reaching out to all my friends and family to help me raise funds to support this incredible place. Any donation amount will help us give these incredibly strong children a place to forget their health battles and just be kids 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.
