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/3856874

My Story…

Five years ago on April 24th our lives changed when Lauren was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma. On April 25th we were introduced to the wonders of Camp Ooch. There are no words that adequately describe the impact Camp Ooch has had on Lauren or its other campers. Ooch allowed Lauren to be a kid, a kid who could swim in the lake, waterski, play a ukulele, climb a rock wall, not a kid with cancer. This is my fourth year ralking for Ooch - I run for a bit, I walk for a bit, but the best part of the day is seeing 20,000+ participants heading down Yonge Street for Ooch and its campers - it is surreal. Thank you for helping me help Ooch and its campers. It really does make a difference. MLC, Mama Conorico, a Canadian grizzly mama, and a mom to one kick a$$ tumour ninja named Lauren

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.
