My Story…

Here we go again! Mother's Day is just around the corner and so I am lacing up my shoes and heading outside to begin "training" for the Sporting Life 10K for our favourite charity - Camp Ooch! This is Jack's Pack's 8th year raising funds for the organization that was truly a blessing to our family in its darkest time, when our son was diagnosed with cancer at 6 years old. Camp Ooch counselors brought a smile to his face on the oncology ward at Sick Kids, at day camp when he was 6 and every year since then at their overnight camp in Muskoka. Ooch lets kids with cancer just be kids - and have an amazing experience that any child would love! We would LOVE your support this year as our whole family runs the 10k for Ooch!

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.
