My Story...

Although I can't say I've personally been affected by or known someone who was directly affected by childhood cancer specifically, I lost my grandmother to breast cancer when I was 13. My grandmother met it with a courageous face, and fought it twice. She was always a source of happiness despite her situation and took every opportunity to bask in the beauty of life. I am fundraising to be able to provide those with childhood cancer and their families with the opportunity to escape, enjoy life, experience different things, and find renewed happiness. 

Description

A diagnosis of childhood cancer changes life in an instant. 

For affected kids and families, it can suddenly feel like everything is about cancer. Camp Ooch offers a hopeful journey, where kids with cancer can just be kids, and families connect with a community of strength and support when they need it the most. 

They are much more than a summer camp—they offer the social cure for childhood cancer. Their camp-inspired programs deliver fun, friendship, and community to 1,900 kids and 745 families year-round, all across Ontario. As a response to COVID-19, virtual camp and in-hospital programs continue to reach kids and families living in isolation, wherever they are.

Please consider making a donation to my fundraising efforts—your gift will make a world of difference!

Cancer changes a child’s life. So does camp. And so can you.
