My Story...
Over the past few years, I've donated to participants in this event. The last time that I ran this was in 2005. The pandemic was a time to step back and reflect on my health and fitness goals. Raising money for this great cause was the perfect opportunity to do so. Many families have benefited from the support that Camp Ooch and Trillium offer to families dealing with the stresses of a child diagnosed with cancer. I'm happy to be running to support them.
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.
