My Story…

I cannot imagine how hard it was for Mika watching Keaton fight for her life. Mika was the strongest big sister and the most amazing daughter during this horrible time. Camp Ooch not only provided support to Keaton but they included Mika in everything. They put a smile on her face and made her feel like she wasn't alone. Every year the girls are excited to join our family and Friends and celebrate the milestones and achievements both of them have made. This year on May 10th Keaton will be celebrating 5 strong & healthy years. I love watching them accomplish 10k because it reminds them that they can do anything!!!! We're raising some very strong girls!!

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!
