Help us raise money

For participating in 2021 Sporting Life Virtual 10k

Our Story...

Power for Purpose is a fundraising initative founded to raise funds for causes through exercise. This month and throughout May, Power for Purpose is raising critical funds for Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) through the Sporting Life 10K race. Camp Ooch provides the gift of camp to children and their families impacted by pediatric cancer. From the Power for Purpose team, both Rachel and Claudia are volunteers with Camp Ooch, and help create the magic of camp year-round through summer-camp, in-hospital and community programming. 

Come together with the Power for Purpose team virtually from May 9th-May 30th, to complete the Sporting Life 10K your way! If you are able to give back at this time, please feel free to leave a donation to the Power for Purpose race team or sign-up for the race and challenge yourself to complete in the 10K. 

Thank you for your support!

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 our fundraising efforts—your gift will make a world of difference!

Cancer changes a child’s life. So does camp. And so can you.
