My Story…

Mom of two amazing kids. I run 10K with my son and husband to support Camp Ooch in memory of a brave girl named Taissa whom we've never met but who lives in our hearts through her Mama Bears' stories. We have changed Each other— Invited each of us More fully present, More completely human, More alive— Opened new worlds Outside, within— And filled each To some brim, Some new capacity, We’d not have known Was there. We are surprised By life That we have found Together— Courage and pain Lived in each other’s Presence. Webs of heart Muscle we’ve woven From our lives Alike and different. So we become A gift To one another, And ourselves. ~ Judy Brown Please donate. Kids are supposed to have fun, not pain in their lives. Thank you! Inna

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.
