My Story…

I'm running in memory of my son, Harrison, who lost his tremendous fight with cancer in June 2017 at the age of 2. The best moments in the dark days of his treatment were when he felt true joy and could throw himself into simple pleasures with complete abandon... and so as his legacy, we would like to ensure that other kids who continue their fight have the chance at their own joyful moments through 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.
