My Story...
🌈Our family went to family camp at Camp Trillium from 1990-2002.
Camp was a magical place. Having a child with cancer impacts the entire family. Camp Trillium had a pamphlet at the time that said “Medicine saved my child, Camp Trillium saved my family”. That quote still resonates with me.
🌈I am forever grateful that my oldest son, Patrick, is a 2x childhood cancer survivor, who is celebrating 26 years since completing his cancer treatments. I started volunteering at Camp in 2018. Please consider sponsoring me in the Sporting Life Virtual 10k. This year, I’m registered to walk/run 10k Ten times starting May 9 to May 30. Every amount helps. Thank you so much 😊
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.
