Help Rita raise money

For participating in 2023 Sporting Life 10K

My Story

This is my first Mother's Day without my mom. She never liked us making a big fuss on Mother's Day or even on her Birthday. Boy was she mad when we planned a surprise 90th party for her. I like to think under all the complaining and scolding with comments like: "It's not necessary." or "Why did you waste money on this?", she secretly appreciated it. She liked it when you called, but then would cut the call short. "OK, thanks' for calling, bye" If you went for a visit, she would be happy to see you but after a short while tell you to leave, "Ok time to go, you have stuff you need to to do."

I miss the puzzles and the games of Briscola and Scopa and yes even all the complaining.

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.
