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/5202354

My Story…

Hello Everyone! It is that time of year again. I am asking you to help me make a HUGE difference in a child's life. My cousin Tanner had a chance to go to Camp Ooch and even though I never got to meet him, people have told me that at Camp Ooch he had such an amazing time. I want to be able to give another child with cancer the chance to have an amazing experience at Camp Ooch. This will be my sixth year running the Sporting Life 10k. It's a new year but the goal remains the same, "raise as much money as possible to help send a child with cancer to camp where they can have fun and forget about the troubles in life." I am asking YOU for help. Donate as little or as much as you can any amount will make a difference in someone's life. Thank you, Jenica :)

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.
