My Story...
Hello everyone! It is that time of year again, I am asking for your help in raising money to send a child to (virtual) camp. This will be my 7th year running the Sporting Life 10k and my goal remains the same since the first year I ran; I hope to provide a child with cancer the opportunity to experience camp. Although I never got to meet my cousin Tanner I have been told that he had an amazing experience going to Camp Ooch, and I hope to give other kids the same opportunity. Even though camp this year will be virtual, due to COVID, it will still gives kids with cancer a chance to have some fun and allow them to focus on just being a kid.
Feel free to share this fundraiser with friends and family! Or sign up and join my team in support of Camp Ooch!
Thank you for your support!
Jenica :)
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.
