Help us raise money

For participating in 2022 Sporting Life 10K

Our Story

For our 4th year running the Sporting Life 10k, we have continued the tradition of asking some very special friends to join Team Lara to help raise funds for one of Laraʼs very dearest of places, Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch). Since her diagnosis at age 2, Campfire Circle/Camp Ooch has come to mean so much to our whole family. 

After two years doing the SL10k “virtually” we are extremely pleased to finally be back on Yonge Street running with thousands of others in support of kids and families affected by childhood cancer who desperately need the magic of camp experience in their lives. 

We will be running the SL10k in person on Sunday May 8th this year. If you are able to help Lara raise funds so kids with cancer can enjoy camp like she did, rest assured even small amounts like $10 are most welcome. 

Thanks for helping.6223ae2e3e94c.jpg

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.
