Help Jessica raise money

For participating in Sporting Life 10k - Toronto 2018

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/3953131

My Story…

Last year, I ran the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon with Noah in my belly. This year, I'm running the Sporting Life 10k with him on my belly, in a carrier. As you may know, Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) provides children with and affected by childhood cancer an opportunity to experience year-round camp programs in Muskoka. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit the camp, which offers on-site IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. The experience was humbling, to say the least. Now that I have my own child, my appreciation for programs like this has intensified. This year, I'm fundraising to reach a goal of $2,000 - enough money to send one child to camp for a week. Any support you can provide is much appreciated. Thank you! xo

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.
