My Story…

This year I am participating in the Sporting Life 10K #SL10K. Please consider sponsoring me and the "St Pius X Fights Cancer" Team to help make a difference in the life of a child living with cancer. #SL10K supports something very dear to my heart and that's camp Ooch. Maya Kim, a 13 year old student at St. Pius X was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when she was 4 years old. She battled2 forms of cancer for several years. While recovering from a second bone marrow transplant at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis in 2014, Maya was bed ridden for months. Her wish was that she could walk again so she could attend Camp Ooch that summer, and walk she did!. Sebastian Peichl was a Gr 1 student who died last year of an aggressive brain tumor. His 6th birthday party was organized by Camp OOCH and Sebastian celebrated with his family, classmates, friends and parents of the St Pius X Community.” Cancer changes a child’s life. So does Camp.

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.
