For participating in Sporting Life 10k Virtual Run

Our story

This is Goose Digital's 3rd year participating in the 2020 Sporting Life 10k Run. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, big changes are necessary to keep our community safe, which is why this year’s Sporting Life 10k is going 100% virtual. The 20-year tradition will continue! It’s taken some time to think about the right way to move forward, because this is critical—it’s about raising funds for kids with cancer. While we’re disappointed that we can’t run down Yonge Street together, the Sporting Life 10k Virtual Run means we can still run for Ooch! A virtual run is a physical run that can be safely completed on your own, at any location. The 2020 Sporting Life 10k Virtual Run will take place on Sunday, May 10—and, for those who can’t join it on that day, on any other day in May. We hope you can participate and or donate to help support this great cause. Every bit helps!

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 power 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 1,800 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!
