My Story
As a student in my final year of a sustainable energy program, I am passionate about making a difference in my community. That's why I am thrilled to participate in the upcoming Sporting Life 10k event in Toronto, which supports Campfire Circles, a charity that provides critical camp-inspired programs to kids and families affected by childhood cancer or serious illnesses.
Cancer affects so many people, and I believe that everyone deserves access to the support and resources they need to fight it. By taking part in this event, I am challenging myself to run 10k while raising funds that will make a real difference in the lives of children and their families who are dealing with cancer.
I am grateful for the opportunity to support such an important cause and to be a part of a community that is coming together to make a positive impact
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.
