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/3501482

My Story…

On December 16, 2015 our grandson Thomas was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma. Since that day Thomas has endured countless tests, treatments, 2 stem cell transplants and surgery. We are so grateful to the doctors, nurses ar Sick Kids. Thomas is now in remission. We also need to thank Camp Oochigeas for the amazing program for kids with cancer, in and out of the hospital. Camp Oochigeas provides a fun and safe environment, allowing kids to be kids. They always put a smile on Thomas's face no matter how poorly he felt. That is why I will be participating again in the Sporting Life 10 K Run on May 13th in support of Camp Oochigeas. Please consider sponsoring me or our team Thomas's Troopers.

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.
