Our story…

As many of you know, our son/brother Ben was diagnosed with an AT/RT brain tumour in July 2004. Through the miracle of not only Sick Kids Hospital, for whom we are eternally grateful, but also Camp OOCH, Ben is now a happy 17 yr old and remains cancer-free. Ben has attended Camp OOCH since he was 6 yrs old, participating in Summer camp in Muskoka, as well as Weekends at Camp (WAC) and many other events through this amazing organization. I truly believe his life has been enriched and improved because of the opportunities Camp OOCH has given him. As a family we have decided to do our first 10K to give back what we can to ensure kids starting this journey will benefit the way our family and Ben has.

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.
