My Story…

This year my daughter Katherine and I are again participating in the Sporting Life 10K #SL10K. We run the #SL10K for a bunch of reasons! The most important is that it supports something very dear to our hearts and that's camp Ooch. Katherine's classmate Maya Kim, a 12 year old student at St. Pius X was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when she was 4 years old. She battled 2 forms of cancer for several years. While recovering from a second bone marrow transplant at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis in 2014, Maya was bed ridden for months. Her wish was that she could walk again so she could attend Camp Ooch that summer. That desire made her work hard, sometimes she would just take just 5 steps, some other days 10, but she tried hard to accomplish her goal. Camp Ooch is that important for Maya and for other kids like Maya who just want to experience the magic of Ooch.

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.
