Help Ricardo 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/3717080

My Story…

On May 13th, I will be participating in the Sporting Life 10k in support of the Hospital for Sick Kids Camp Ooch along with Susan and Noah . As most of you know, Ashton was recently diagnosed with cancer, and so our decision to participate in this worthy cause was driven my our desire to support Ashton in his battle against cancer. As heart breaking it has been for us to watch Ashton go through cancer treatment and all that comes with it, we are so proud of him and inspired by his amazing courage, strength and perseverance. Although the money raised will not go towards cancer research, it will give children living with and affected by childhood cancer the opportunity to enjoy a normal camp experience in a safe environment while at the same time allowing them to continue to receive treatment from the wonderful doctors and nurses at the camp. Ashton will be attending Camp Ooch this summer, making our decision to participate even more personal and your donation even more meaningful.

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.
