My Story...

Like last year, I'll actually run 15k for Camp Ooch, so please donate 1.5x what you would have :D

(But seriously folx, whatever you'd like to give is aok with me.)

Why I'm running: as we've entered a second year of the pandemic, Camp Ooch's virtual camp and in-hospital programs continue to reach kids living with cancer, wherever they are. On top of the stress of managing an illness during a pandemic – which puts them at higher risk of said pandemic! – I can only imagine how much social connection means to these kids.

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.
