My Story…

Nate Hudson, my super hero, braver than brave nephew is why I run and fundraise for Ooch. At the age of two, my nephew was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer and fought like a warrior to battle this merciless disease. Ooch is a place where Nate has always felt good and he continues to go there yearly. Cancer robs children of the freedom to just be carefree kids. Camp Ooch gives these children a safe and engaging environment where they can experience all the joys of camp! Camp Ooch is privately funded so any donation in any amount would be deeply appreciated. Some families simply don't have the funds to send their children and that is where we can help. Thank you in advance 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.
