My Story...
I am excited to participate in the Sporting Life 10K because it brings together 3 of my biggest passions. Supporting families impacted by cancer, fitness, and time with my boy!
My son has been a volunteer with Camp Ooch going on 15 years. And so for the past 14 years, I have seen countless photos and heard story after story of what amazing places Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium are. As my son would say, it's where magic exists.
Earlier this year my son came to me and asked if I would join them in this 10K, and I jumped at the offer. While this is their first experience with a charity run, for me it's something I have been doing for years; I have run in the CIBC Run for Cure for over a decade!
I am looking forward to this new challenge, helping an amazing cause, and spending time with my big kid!
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.
