Help Calvin 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/5156535

My Story…

This is my first time running for this long 10k. It helps to fund raise for Ooch that get kids affected by cancer some healing by providing fun camping to them. Being a parent I can appreciate how much it values for kids to have a joyful moments, no matter what the actual circumstances they are.

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.
