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/3945053

My Story…

In February 2017, I received a call from my family around 6:00 AM in the morning. I didn't know why they were calling but I knew it wasn't good news. I received news that my dad was in the hospital and it didn't look good. I had to fly to Toronto, Ontario that day. Being a law student at the time, I didn't have a lot of money to make a last minute purchase for a plane ticket. I had many people come to my help, and to get me to Toronto, quickly and safely. This was on a Friday. On the following Monday, right at 6:00 AM, my dad passed away. He had liver cancer. I am running (okay, running *and* most likely walking) for my dad and for all the kids, their families and friends. I am hoping that many more people will help me in honouring my dad by giving a chance for kids to be kids.

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.
