My Story…

I have never in my life run for anything other than a bus or a streetcar. This would have been my first ever attempt, but the universe has its own sense of humour so I'm rolling with it and changing my personal goal. You may know that I like to regularly take the stairs down from the 52nd floor at work, sometimes I even go back up, and in 2018 I did the CN Tower climb for the first time. Since I'm in the office next week to prepare equipment, I'm going to take this opportunity to push myself, and complete a rough equivalent to the CN climb by doing the stairs at work. TWICE. That's over 100 stories total, That's in the ballpark of 1600 stairs. They've already sent me this fancy t-shirt and a medal. I can't back out now. Help me raise money for this amazing organization that gives so much back to our community.

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!
