My Story…

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren and I am the Tumour Ninja. One word that is never uttered at Ooch is "No!" If I, or my fellow campers are in treatment, recovering/in rehab - we still go to camp. They only say "Yes!" and "Let's do it!". Over the last five years at Ooch I have made lots friends. Ooch staff, its many volunteers are awesome and have been like another family for me. Whether I was in hospital for treatment, up at daycamp in between cycles, or the last few years up at Fall or Winter WACs (weekends at camp) or during summer up north - we have fun! Here are my favourite memories at camp: - Jumping off the dock with my friends (this pic is on their website) - Arts and crafts - we can be creative - Learning to play the ukulele - Building snow forts at Winter WACs - Carving pumpkins at Fall WACs This is what I am called at Ooch: - The Marshmallow Master (making smores) - The Fish (I love swimming) Thank you!

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.
