Help us raise money

For participating in 2019 Toronto Sporting Life 10k

Our story…

Dear Friends and Family, This is the first year the Scherzer-Kevorkian family is participating in the Sporting Life 10K for Camp Ooch. Since her diagnosis at age 2, Camp Ooch has come to mean so much to us. Lara wants other kids with cancer to be able to become Ooch campers as well. We've set our goal at $1200 to send two kids to weekend camp. With your help we can raise funds to send more kids to Camp Ooch! Lara, Aran, Noura, Paul

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.
