My Story…

Hi All, Last year, I ran the Sporting Life 10K with Noah in a carrier. This year, I'll be rocking our new baby girl (due in April) in the carrier and big bro Noah in a stroller. As you may know, Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) provides children with and affected by childhood cancer an opportunity to experience year-round camp programs in Muskoka. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit the camp, which offers on-site IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. The experience was humbling, to say the least. Now that I have my own kids, my appreciation for programs like this has intensified. This year, I'm fundraising to reach a goal of $3,000 - enough money to send one child to camp for a week. Any support you can provide is much appreciated. Thank you! xo

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.
