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/5312907

My Story…

This year, some of my favourite people and I are running for Ooch. A place that has meant so much to us for the past 12 years. I began going to Camp Ooch when I was 6 years old, and for the past 12 years it has helped heal my heart. My family likes to say that nothing will ever fill the hole that Mitchell's death left us, but Ooch and Teomul have helped repair that spot. Camp Ooch is a camp for children with and affected by childhood cancer, they run year round programs everywhere from HSC in Toronto all the way to Muskoka, where they run their residential programs. They are one of the only camps in Canada that have onsite blood transfusions and chemotherapy for patients, and they are continuously expanding to reach as many kids as they can. So, I am asking you, my family and friends to help me send more kids to camp, to help them experience the joy and magic.

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.
