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/3491232

My Story…

Hello, I'm Jenica and this will be my fifth year running the Sporting Life 10k. My reason for running the SL10K has not changed in these past couple years, as it remains the same from when I first did the run back in 2014. I am running so that kids with cancer can have a chance to just be a kid and have fun. I want to give kids the same experience that my cousin Tanner got when he was in the same situation. Though I never got to meet Tanner, I have heard so many amazing stories about what he was like, and how much he enjoyed going to Camp Ooch. My goal is to send a kid to camp for one week. So, I'm asking for your help to make this goal a reality. Feel free to send this link to family and friends, so that we can give a kid with cancer the chance to just be a kid. Thank you so much for your support!

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.
