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/3500576

My Story…

I am participating this year in the SL10K run to raise money and awareness for Camp Ooch. Our grandson Thomas who is now in remission, thanks to the wonderful medical care he received from Sick Kids and the emotional and psychological care he received from Camp Ooch, was diagnosed in December of 2015 with Stage IV neuroblastoma. After 18 months of chemo and immuno therapies he is now cancer free after his third successeive series of tests. We want the same for all kids with cancer.

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.
