My Story…

This will be my third year in a row running the Camp Ooch Sportinglife 10K, alongside my husband and my aunt. This also marks the third year since my amazing cousin Daniel lost his battle with cancer at the age of 16. Though he is not here to watch us cross the finish line in person, we have felt his presence in spirit every day. Each run, I am inspired by his strength and persistence, and that same fire will fuel me for this third run. The positive impact Camp Ooch has made on so many children, including my cousin, can't be done justice in a few simple paragraphs. It is a life-changing place that allows kids who are affected by childhood cancer to be just that, kids. I look forward to running this race in memory of Daniel, in support of my family, and to raise money to help kids be kids. Any contribution you can make is most appreciated.

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.
