Help Glenda raise money

For participating in 2023 Sporting Life 10K

My Story

I am running the Sporting Life 10K this year in support of Campfire Circle because every kid deserves a chance to be a kid no matter what the circumstance!  With your support I hope to raise $500 which is the cost of one day of camp for a child.  If I meet this goal - I will run the entire race in a tutu and my daughter has agreed to wear one to the race to cheer me on!

The magic of camp brings much-needed joy to kids and families affected by childhood cancer or serious illness. That’s why I’m fundraising for Campfire Circle. Through its 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. More than a thousand kids were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic. 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!

Thank you for your support!

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.
