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/8182380

My Story…

2020 and the "training" begins for another bout of fundraising and fun-running (well maybe not fun-or running- but you get the idea) journey down Yonge Street in the spirit of our little friend Foxy. In our turbulent world it is important to focus locally... on the little people who are struggling with cancer. The funds we raise for Camp Ooch help to provide a child with an escape... time to be a kid and have fun while still being looked after medically. Camp Ooch not only supports the children with cancer but also their siblings. It helps the family find glimmers of brightness on a dark path. If you would like to lace up and join me on the pavement... that would be fantastic! If aren't up for that please feel free to open up your wallets and help us raise the money to send a child to camp for one week. I thank you all for your ongoing support of this worthy cause. Big hugs. K

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!
