My Story…

Hello everyone, it is that time of year again when I start thinking about getting ready to run the 10K for Camp Ooch. I run for my son Daniel who as most of you are aware passed away on May 18, 2016, and for all the kids and families affected by cancer. Camp Ooch is such a wonderful place for the kids to go and just be kids again. I know Daniel would want me to continue to try and raise money for a place that he was so grateful to have been able to attend. Any donation big or small is greatly appreciated. Your support I can guarantee will put a smile on a child's face.

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.
