My Story...
I'm running in memory of my close friend Jesse Benudiz, who passed away February 17, 2021. In his 22 years, Jesse's impact was larger than life. Jesse was charismatic, loving, compassionate, the life of the party, and so much more. He made everyone around him feel safe, welcomed, and loved. Please consider supporting me on my journey as I run 10k in memory of 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.
