My Story

Hello friends and family! For a fifth year in a row, I'm excited to be completing the Sporting Life 10K to support children affected by childhood cancer. Having friends who first-hand experienced the challenges that come with cancer, Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch/Camp Trillium) provides a safe and empowering place for kids to just be kids. It really is a place like no other. I'll also be taking work with Campfire Circle one step further by contributing as a volunteer at camp this year :)

If you're feeling generous, you can donate here (and thank you for your support!)

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.
