My Story...
Our team is running in honor of our late friend Jesse Benudiz, who passed away earlier this year. Jesse was a deeply caring, enthusiastic, insightful, generous, and incredible friend with a heart of gold. We met Jesse at summer camp, where he had the opportunity to profoundly impact the lives of his friends and campers. Please consider donating to help us offer children from families affected by childhood cancer to experience the amazing opportunity of going to summer camp and to honor Jesse!!
Camp Ooch brings laughter and joy to kids and families affected by childhood cancer, helping them to experience the magic of summer camp. I'm running in the Sporting Life Virtual 10k to make a difference in their lives—join me!

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.
