My Story
Hey everyone,
Since 2017, I’ve been running down Yonge Street for the annual Sporting Life 10K to raise money for children with childhood cancer to go to camp.
This year I’ve been promoted to Team Captain of the PwC Corporate Challenge and I’m asking for your support! My goal is to raise $1,000!
It takes less than 5 minutes and goes a long way to helping kids enjoy the magic of summer camp and many other programs throughout the year. CAMPFIRE CIRCLE offers overnight camps with the ability to provide on-site IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions, community programs (such as day camps and leadership programs), in-hospital programs with one-on-one bedside visits occurring daily at 3 paediatric oncology hospitals across Ontario, and in the age of Covid-19 - virtual programs.
I know that we are living in unprecedented times so it may be difficult to give right now - please don’t feel obligated. For those of you who are in a position to give, thank you so much for your support!
Stay safe everyone!
Cindy
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.
