Help Natalie raise money

This is my first year training for the Bluenose and I am so lucky to have been chosen to be on Team Myles with the pod Baby Got Track!

Our pod has joyfully chosen Brigadoon Village as the charity that we are raising funds for, Brigadoon Village is so close to my heart, from Camp Goodtime, where I spent so many years from 16 as a lifeguard to my years as a nurse, to BrainChild camp for families of children with brain tumours to camp Guts and Glory! Brigadoon is the most wonderful place for children and you can read all about it below and then help our pod raise money to send MORE kids to camp ❤️

Brigadoon is the first facility of its kind in Atlantic Canada and is now the largest pediatric medical camp in Canada.

We believe that every child, regardless of the life challenges they face, should have the opportunity to experience the transformational and therapeutic effects of camp. That’s why we strive to develop condition-specific camps that meet the medical needs of our campers and are also the most fun you can pack into a week!

Each camp offered at Brigadoon is designed so that children living with the same illness or life challenge attend a camp specifically tailored for those living with their needs.

While at Brigadoon, our campers share experiences and create special friendships with other children going through the same challenges. Providing this type of environment allows the kids who attend Brigadoon no longer feel different or alone because of their diagnosis. For many, they are meeting others who are just like them for the first time. The opportunity to share and bond with another child who shares the same life challenge is powerfully therapeutic.

We focus on building meaningful connections and sending our campers home stronger, more confident, and armed with new skills they can be proud of.

Thank you for giving extraordinary kids a chance to be ordinary
