My Story…

I'm so excited and scared at the same time to be running this for the first time with my mom. I watch her do it every year and i am so proud of her for doing it and i finally get to do it. Finally get to run in the memory of my biggest hero, my best friend - my big sister, Savannah. Cancer has affected so many families and so many kids. Cancer really sucks but in this battle we can win. Camp Ooch is a place where you can be yourself where kids just want to be kids. Camp isn't just a camp for kids with cancer or kids that had siblings with cancer, but a place where you make amazing friendships and build a family. From the first moment i got on the bus and stepped onto the Muskoka grounds i knew it was like a home. Camp Ooch was my sister's place ... and now it is my place <3

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.
