Help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K https://raceroster.com/events/2018/14700/ottawa-sporting-life-10k-2018/pledge/participant/3828515

My Story…

When I was asked if I wanted to join a team for a 10K run my initial thought was are you kidding I’ve never ‘run’ in my life and 10K!?!?!?!, hardly. Then I was told what the money was going towards, I was in. I can’t wait!!!! Cancer is a horrible disease, one that no one should have to endure and certainly no child. If you would like to help send a child to Camp Ooch please make a donation and help to put a smile on a child’s face.

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 in Toronto, and various other cancer centres and cities across Ontario - including right here in Ottawa. 

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, including over 50 kids from the Ottawa region.  However, 79% of kids with cancer in Ontario still can't go to Camp.  

Cancer changes a child's life.  So does Camp.  And so can you.
