My Story
In 2022, I was lucky enough to join the Campfire Circle team as a Community Coordinator in Ottawa, helping to expand our reach to Eastern Ontario! Through our in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, Campfire Circle creates opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall wellbeing.
Campfire Circle brings the magic of camp to kids and families affected by childhood cancer or serious illness. As someone who attended day camp my entire childhood, I can honestly say that many of my most cherished memories came from camp. Forming lifelong friendships, meeting the most fun and supportive counsellors, and trying new things every day is what the magic of camp is all about! It's what I hope to bring to children every day.
Please help me raise funds for Campfire Circle to give kids the chance to just be kids so that they can rediscover a spark of light and laughter—this is what healing through happiness looks like! Together, we can help children thrive and families heal through Campfire Circle’s transformational, camp-inspired programs. Join the circle and donate to my #SportingLife10K—because we are the spark that makes Campfire Circle burn bright!
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.
