My Story...
Spring is in the air, and for me that means the Sporting Life 10K is around the corner and Camp Ooch is not far behind.
I know this past year has not been an easy one for anyone! But now imagine this past year with a child who was undergoing treatment for cancer.
Camp Ooch figured out a way to support these children and their families. And Camp Ooch will continue to support them no matter what else is going on in the world. Camp Ooch provided a small break from reality, whether it was cancer or COVID. And for that reason I run and fundraise, despite being tired of what this past year has dealt me.
If you and your family were blessed with health and a job this past year, then I am asking you to please help out in whatever way you can.
Every little bit counts.
"Digging deep this year for you Tanner! Miss you more than words can describe."
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.
