My Story...
It’s that time of year again! The weather’s warming up, the birds are chirping, and the SL10K is happening! This year, like last year, we are having to run virtually and apart. This year, however, is different. The need for Camp has never been greater, and the need for fundraising has never been more important. Our friends at Camp have continued to offer incredible and vital programming to children who need it. Whether it’s virtually through our community programs, or in person at our hospitals - Camp is there for them.
Ooch and Trillium need your support this year, which is why I’m once again lacing up the running shoes, tuning my ukulele, and hitting the streets with my good buddy Ken to run and play our way down Yonge St (safely and distanced). If you have the capacity to donate to our run, it would make a huge impact in allowing for Camp programs to continue throughout this pandemic. I know it’s cliche, but every dollar helps.
If you’re like me and want some extra incentive for your donation - I’ll be taking requests for songs if you make a donation over $50. Just write your song in the comment and I’ll add it to the set list!
Let’s all make a difference in the lives of kids affected by childhood cancer, and make this year’s SL10K one to remember!
Love,
Nick
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.
