My Story…

As most of you know, our dearest nephew, Severino, passed away last year at the age of 7. Severino battled Leukemia like a warrior. He was the happiest boy in the world – always laughing and smiling, always positive. What most of you may not know is exactly how kids’ cancer treatment is a soul crushing experience. Treatment can leave kids sick, tired, bald and weak and make them feel socially isolated. Treatment can prevent them from doing all of the fun things that kids should be doing. Camp Ooch changes that by helping kids with cancer experience the joys of childhood. This organization is funded by donors and run by volunteers. This year, #werunforooch as Severino’s Angels, in his honour. If you are able to, please consider making a donation to help support this cause. Also, if you are interested in joining our team, please contact me – we would be happy to have your support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 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.
