My Story…

Hi, I’m Thatcher and I am 7 years old. I LOVE to dance, am a pretty awesome singer and a really great big brother to Averie and Owen. I just happen to have Cancer. 3 years ago I was told that I have Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Don’t know what that is?!? Neither did I! I basically have cancer in my blood and it was making me very sick. I have had chemo for the last 1134 days , countless lumbar punctures and a whole bunch of other tests and procedures. Here I am 3 years later; I am the happiest guy you will meet and I’m only 41 sleeps from finishing treatment. When you walk/run and donate to the Sporting Life 10K in support of Camp Ooch; you are helping kids like me Kick Cancer’s Butt! I want to make sure that EVERY child that is challenged by Cancer get to have Camp Ooch by their side the whole way, just like I did. Here's my Story: https://www.ooch.org/camp/file/ThatchersStory.pdf?erid=1571921&trid=7bdfa77b-3c19-429c-b1ee-7fc01aba7629 Sending Love to you All-Thatch

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.
