My Story...
Camp ooch is very dear to my heart. When I was diagnosed with cancer my world stopped. I was lost and didn’t have anything that made me happy... until I found out about Camp ooch. My first year there was the best experience of my life and I met so many amazing people who I am still friends with to this day. I tried so many new things like waterskiing, ropes corses, pottery and so much more. Being at camp was the first time in a long time that I felt I could be myself and not hide what had happened to me. I started to except things and become the person I am today. Without camp, my life and experience with cancer would have been a lot different. Camp is one of the reasons that I would go through cancer all over again. Camp not only saved me but it helped shape me into an amazing person. Donating to this amazing cause will help many other kids have this amazing experience like I had and help them realize that cancer doesn’t define who they are, it defines what they can defeat.
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.
