Our Story
This is the first year that Team Nora's Narwhals has officially registered for the Sporting Life Run. The original team was put together for Meagan's Walk in 2018, and named after Nora and her love of Narwhals.
Camp Ooch (now known as Campfire Circle) gave Nora exactly what she needed when she needed it most. Just look at her smiling in that picture of her wakeboarding!
Now they continue to be an amazing support for Kate and our family. We appreciate your help in supporting the amazing Camp Ooch!
Ps. We welcome anyone who wishes to join the team and do your own special run to fundraise for Camp Ooch in memory of Nora. Contact the team captain for more info.
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.
