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/5202352

My Story…

The time of year has come again where I prepare for my 10K run and remember my late cousin Tanner who had childhood cancer. As a young adult myself, I look forward to making life long memories and moments with friends. Unfortunately, children with cancer are limited and restricted from such moments. That is why raising money for Camp Ooch is so important for me. I want to help the children who are sick, get back the time they missed for being in the hospital and help them enjoy the time they deserve being a kid. In my past experiences, camp has changed my life. If it can change mine in any way, imagine what it could do for a child with cancer.

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.
