My Story…

Hi! My name is Thatcher. This will be my 4th year participating in the Sporting Life 10K in support of Camp Ooch-My favourite Place on earth! I am a fun, energetic 8 year old who loves to play and dance; I just happen to have Cancer. I have had chemotherapy every day for 3.5 years. I am now at the end of treatment and can easily say that Camp Ooch was the biggest part of getting me through all of this happy. Camp Ooch will come play with you in your hospital room, they have a camp up north, a camp downtown and they play and do crafts with me while I wait for hours in Cancer clinic creating magic and fun for me and my brothers. The ONLY good thing about having Cancer is Ooch. Camp Ooch allows me to just be a kid! So, when you run, donate or even spread the word of what Ooch is and the amazing things they do; you are helping to create BIG smiles on little faces like mine while we fight life's biggest battle, too young. Thank you for helping me just be a kid! Thatcher

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.
