My Story…

I am going to do the 10k CAMP OOCH event tomorrow. While the event is a virtual race this year and we do it social distancing as I have a route all organized. I do this in memory of my wonderful niece Faith who was able to go to camp for 6 years learning how to be a kid while dealing with cancer. Ooch is not just a camp but a year round organization. Faith had someone in the hospital helping her with getting arts and crafts supplies & motivating her while in the hospital bed too! This year with COVID many children will need OOCH more than ever. Isolation is difficult but children with cancer are even more at risk than the average child. Please help support a great organization. # runforcampooch #campooch

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!
