For participating in 2019 Toronto Sporting Life 10k

Our story…

Once again we will walk in the Sporting Life 10k in honour of Edyn and in support of Camp Ooch. Five years ago we walked our first SL10K and every year we are amazed and so incredibly grateful for the love and support of donors and team members. September 13, 2019, will mark 5 years without Edyn. Our challenges have been many but we find strength in the ways we celebrate the beautiful girl we all miss. The walk for Ooch is a highlight for us every year. I can't imagine another way to spend Mother's Day. Please help us make this year particularly significant.

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.
