My Story
Hi, I am Oliver and I've always admired runners and the challenge of a good race. But, for some reason, I've never taken the plunge myself.
This year, though, I've decided to change that. I signed up for the Sporting Life 10K, excited to take on the challenge and test my limits.
As I began to prepare for the race, I also learned about Campfire Circle and the amazing work they do for kids and families affected by childhood cancer or serious illnesses. I was inspired by their mission to provide safe spaces for these families to just be kids again.
So, I've decided to use my participation in the Sporting Life 10K to fundraise for Campfire Circle. It gives me an extra sense of purpose, knowing that every step I take and every dollar I raise will help make a difference in the lives of others.
As race day approaches, I'm feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. I know that the route will be challenging, but I'm determined to finish and make a real impact for Campfire Circle.
I can't wait to be surrounded by thousands of other runners, all pushing ourselves to our limits and making a difference for a great cause. And when I cross the finish line, I know that I'll be exhausted but also elated, proud of what I've accomplished and the impact I've made.
I encourage anyone who's interested in running or supporting a great cause to consider participating in the Sporting Life 10K and fundraising for Campfire Circle. It's a truly rewarding experience that makes a real impact on the lives of others. And who knows, it may just inspire you to keep running and making a difference for years to come.
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.
