Help Edyn-Kristyn raise money

For participating in Sporting Life 10k - Toronto 2018

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/3508163

My Story…

I will celebrate Mothers Day walking the Sporting Life 10k as long as I am physically able. There is no other way I would rather celebrate being Mom to my incredible kids. Camp Ooch gave Edyn two weeks of pure freedom and fun. Edyn told me that she felt a weight lifted at Ooch because she was in the fight with all of the other kids. At Ooch everyone really knows what having cancer as a kid means. There are no explanations needed. It is just about being a kid at camp. Please help me give more kids that opportunity.

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.
