Our story…

Currently, Thomas is a happy, healthy 6 year old boy. Sadly, that was not always the case. On December 16, 2015, we were given the life-changing, devastating news that he had stage IV high-risk neuroblastoma, and would require 18 months of intense treatment. Those 18 months were no joke. Remission is no joke. When your child goes through such a challenging time, you cherish every laugh, smile, and hint of normalcy. Ooch brought us that, and continues to do so. Although Thomas isn't at the hospital every week, he is still greeted by smiling Ooch faces when we walk into clinic for our check-ups. They relieve the stress he doesn't know he has, and allows Adam and I to take a couple of deep breaths to cope with the stress we know we have. Thomas will be spending yet another fun-filled 2 weeks at camp again this year. Whether you're in-treatment, or in remission, 2 weeks of swimming, archery, canoeing, crafts and games is what all these kids want and need. Thanks for your help!

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.
