My Story…

Hey cool cats! I’m proud to say my family and friends and I are doing something very cool, inspiring, and out of our comfort zone, and I’d love for you all to join the fight! For the past three years, I’ve had the opportunity to fundraise for the wonderful Camp Ooch! It’s a place where kids who have or are affected by cancer, go to be kids again - with no extra cost to their families. The run is on Mother’s Day, so we’re running on behalf of all of the kids who maybe don’t have the opportunity to be with their moms on this day and vise versa. I’m also proudly running on behalf of my family members who have been or are currently affected by this and my good friend Jennika Hunsinger, who has been in remission for almost 9 years! She attended Camp Ooch for four years and continues to volunteer there annually. This place holds a very special place in my heart and I hope you can join us in helping these real-life superheros 💕 Let’s get it!

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.
