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/3832374

My Story…

Imagine growing up having to go to the hospital, undergo aggressive, debilitating therapy and be constantly under supervision, while other kids are just growing up… Cancer is a horrible disease, but for kids with cancer, it’s not just the physical pain, it’s also not “being normal”, not “doing kids’ stuff”, not having fun most of the time that counts just as much. Camp Ooch was created some 30 years ago to give kids with cancer an opportunity to just be kids for some time. As one little participant has put it: “Doctors cured my body, but Camp Ooch healed my soul!”

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.
