Our story…

Henry is 8 and he's been living with cancer for almost 3 years. Every single night, Henry takes pills - steroids, chemo or antibiotics. Every month, he goes to the hospital to get his IV chemo. Every year, Henry goes to Camp Ooch in the summer. While his parents get a break from the daily routine of medication, he gets to be a regular kid going to camp. At camp, Henry loves to swim, sing, play basketball, and in particular this year, to dance with his LIT Dante. He came home with some serious dance moves! Ooch has made so many memories for him, created so many friendships, and given him so many unique opportunities. This year, I'm With Henry will raise $19,166 to support Camp Ooch! If we raise this much, we'll have raised $50,000 in 3 years! We can do it!

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.
