Help Abdur-Razakh raise money

For participating in 2019 Toronto Sporting Life 10k

Help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K https://raceroster.com/events/2019/19641/2019-toronto-sporting-life-10k/pledge/participant/4980971

My Story…

Hey everyone. I'm raising money and running a 10k with friends from school. The money will help send more kids affected by childhood cancer to camp. You can treat the illness with all the drugs you want. However, mentally and socially there will always be a void left empty from the experience. The camp experience not only helps fill that void but encourages further growth of character and spirit. I speak from first-hand experience and I can say that Camp Oochigeas has drastically changed my life for the better. If you can share this link and pledge whatever amount you can, it will go a long way. Thank you :)

Description

Help send kids affected by childhood cancer to Camp Ooch!

A diagnosis of childhood cancer is a big, scary, sudden swerve in the road, changing life in an instant. 

For affected families, it can feel like everything is about cancer. Simple, childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams are left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school.

For over 35 years, Camp Ooch has offered a different path – the healing power of fun, friendship and self-confidence, and the joy of kids getting to just be kids! 

Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, Ooch provides programming at an overnight camp in Muskoka, at SickKids in Toronto, in specialized paediatric centres and in communities across Ontario. Camp Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer onsite IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. 

Camp Ooch is a privately funded, volunteer-based organization that relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, corporate donors and individuals, like you.

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year. However, almost 80% of kids with cancer in Ontario don’t have access to the wonders of camp. You can help change that.

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