Our story…

Maya Kim, a student of St. Pius X, was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer in March 2010 when she was 4 years old. In 2012 she was diagnosed with a secondary cancer MDS. The St. Pius x team was first put together in 2014 when Maya was undergoing her second bone marrow transplant at St. Jude hospital in Memphis. Her teacher, her classmates , parents and the school community put together the "St. Pius X - Team Maya Kim" to show support for Maya. While at the hospital, Maya was bedridden for 4 months, and could not walk. When she started physiotherapy Maya's will to walk , even if so 1 meter, was her hope to be able to walk again to attend camp Ooch that summer, and walk she did. Maya is 12 years old now and for the past 7 summers has attended to Camp Ooch. Since 2014, the team has raised over $30,000 in support of Camp Ooch. Please support us to send kids affected by pediatric cancer to Ooch, a camp where kids can forget about all the harsh treatments and 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.
