My Story…

Hello Friends and Family, I will be participating in the Sporting Life 10k on Sunday, May 12, 2019 to help raise money for Camp Oochigeas, a camp for children with cancer. I am really looking forward to the run this year and am very thankful that I'm able to do it. As you may know, I had hoped to run last year but was not able to. I still decided that I would raise money for Camp Ooch and very much appreciate all the support that I received! You will see my friend, Jack, in the photo from a few years ago. Jack had been diagnosed with Leukemia and after a very long battle, he is now cancer free! He spent, and will continue to spend, many happy times at Camp Ooch. He is the reason that this fundraising event is so important to me. Thank you for your support!

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.
