My Story…

For the last 3 years, my family and I have run in the Sporting Life 10K to raise funds for Camp Ooch. It was always a great event – full of cheer, enthusiasm and sweat! Yonge street was shut down from Eglington avenue to Wellington – the sea of people, all running or walking in support of a great cause. However, this year Covid 19 changed everything. The run have gone virtual and so has Camp Ooch. This pandemic has created obstacles for us all. Fortunately, overcoming obstacles is what Camp Ooch community does best. They remain strong in their commitment to reaching every child and family affected by paediatric cancer in Ontario; we are together even when we are apart. Your continued support will provide fun, friendship, and community to affected kids and families—in new and impactful ways. Your support is critical to making that possible today, tomorrow, and for the promising future that awaits us all. Thank you.

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!
