My Story
Our lives have come to a halt...lockdown, unable to travel, unable to see family, unable to see friends, unable to do those simple things we love. There is one thing that hasn't come to a complete stop..and that is childhood cancer! #Cancer doesn't stop, it doesn't care about covid but instead it keeps attacking.
There is nothing in this world that makes my heart more happy than being able to participate in the #SL10K run each year.
Being able to support kids that are suffering from cancer is the least I can do after what #SickKids and #CampFireCircle have done for our very own Mighty Mateja!
Mateja was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at 5 months old. It was not the news we ever expected to hear, but here we were trying to save our little baby girl. I am pleased to say that with her fight and determination our Mighty Mateja had fought the toughest fight of her life and in the end she became our champion! She is now 10 1/2 years old, living her life to the fullest. Mateja is full of life with a smile to light up the room.
We do this each year for our #MightyMateja and all the other warriors out there! Thank you to all our friends and family who have supported us in this journey throughout the years ❤
I hope you will find it in your heart to support us in our annual #SL10K run that is happening May 9th! We need your support in order for #CampFireCircle to offer children a hopeful journey, where kids with cancer can just be kids, and where families cam connect with a community of strength and support when they need it the most.

Description
Childhood cancer changes lives. So does camp. And so can you.
A diagnosis of childhood cancer changes life in an instant. For kids and families, it can suddenly feel like everything is about cancer. Simple childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams being left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school.
Whether it’s in a hospital setting, in the community, online or at overnight camp, CAMPFIRE CIRCLE* fills the void, creating safe spaces for kids to be kids, so families can be families, at no cost to them.
It’s where curiosity and confidence, bravery and acceptance come to play, and healing through happiness is on the agenda, every day, and in every way! Kids and families are never alone, because there’s always room for one more in the circle.
Your support of Sporting Life 10K ensures that CAMPFIRE CIRCLE’S programs continue to reach 1,700 kids and their families every year. Your gift will make life-changing experiences possible.
*Did you know that Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium merged in 2020, and that we have a new name? Announcing … CAMPFIRE CIRCLE! We aren’t changing what we do—we're just changing our name.
