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/3671656

My Story…

We all know money cannot buy happiness, but in this case, a single monetary pledge can spread a smile across a child's face. Camp Oochigeas provides the opportunity for critically ill children to forget about the battle they go up against every single day. Please help me raise $300 to send a child to camp for one day. I have personally experienced the toll a critical illness can have on a young child and their family. There are many people that go into making these circumstances a little more bearable- I hope all of us can do our part to bring a little joy into a child's life.

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.
