My Story…

I’m running for Camp Ooch again this spring in honour of my big sister, Savannah. I miss her so much 💚.. every year I’ve watched my mom do this run for her team, and last year we finally got to do it together :) it made me so happy that I could run a 10K with my mom on Mother’s Day for Savannah. Not only is the run just for her memory, but it’s for a place I call my second home, Camp Ooch. We’ve become like family and I can’t imagjne life without the other campers and volunteers. Our community really is magical! Nothing compares to that ooch feeling! Thank you to everyone for your donations to help keep the magic coming :) ... mucho, mucho 💚

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.
