Help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K https://raceroster.com/events/2020/27499/sporting-life-10k-virtual-run/pledge/participant/8168922

My Story…

Hi Everyone! I decided it was time to try and run a 10k...and it’s for a great cause! Camp Ooch is an amazing organization dedicated to children with cancer. It is an opportunity for children to experience camp, which is something they would otherwise miss out on due to their condition. Whether it is for a day or week, Camp Ooch brings joy to children and their families who are going through an extremely difficult time in their lives. Through my work, I have witnessed firsthand the strength and resilience of children and their families affected with childhood cancer. I figured the least I can do is run this 10k and ask my family and friends to support sending a child to a place where just get to be kid, camp.

Description

Kids affected by childhood cancer still need the chance to just be kids!

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 powers 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 1,900 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.

We still run for Ooch!
