My Story
In January 2022 at just 4 years old Benjamin was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), a rare form of cancer.
Benjamin is truly an inspiring little superhero. He treats every hospital visit like a special adventure and is best known for being happy, positive, kind, affectionate, enthusiastic, inclusive and for the wonderful sense of humour that pairs perfectly with his big smile and contagious laugh.
After his diagnosis my aunt surprised him with a very special superhero cape she'd made. Ever since he's insisted on wearing it to every treatment, surgery, test and appointment and over the past year has become well known to the SickKids staff.
If you ask him, his super power is saving pets. If you ask me, his mum, his super power is his ability to always, always find the light.
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.
