Help Jess raise money

For participating in 2023 Sporting Life 10K

My Story

This is my sixth year volunteering with Campfire Circle! For two weeks in August I will be a cabin counsellor, helping kids with cancer just be kids at Campfire Circle's Muskoka site — canoeing, kayaking, pottery, archery... plus so much more. 

Starting this spring, I'll be a hospital volunteer at SickKids as part of Campfire Circle's "Camp Tonight" program. Help me bring the magic of camp to kids with cancer both on the lake and in the hospital!  

Description

Help bring joy and laughter to kids affected by cancer or serious illness

 

A diagnosis of childhood cancer or serious illness changes life in an instant. For kids and families, their schedule suddenly revolves around medical appointments and hospital stays, with long absences from school. There is no time for simple joys like friendships, birthday parties or sport activities.

 

Campfire Circle is passionate about helping kids to just be kids, once again. By supporting their in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, you will help bring joy and laughter to kids and families during their most challenging times, at no cost to them.

 

As part of the Campfire Circle community, you are helping to create opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall wellbeing. 

 

More than a thousand kids were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic—the need is greater now more than ever. Your support ensures that Campfire Circle’s critical camp-inspired programs will reach even more kids and families across Ontario. Your gift makes life-changing experiences possible.


Thank you for helping to build a world where children thrive and families heal.
