My Story
I LOVE the work that we do at Campfire Circle! Over my many years working here I have been witness to and been able to be a part of countless moments of joy. Camp has been a huge part of my life and so I am deeply aware of the differences it can make in the lives of children affected by childhood cancer and their families. That is why I run for for Campfire Circle.
This year I wanted to further challenge myself and those who are supporting me. I have paired my running challenges with the Camp Sponsorship Challenges:
$1500 raised will send a kid to camp for a weekend. If we meet this goal I will run 15 10Ks between March 14th and Mother's Day.
$2500 raised will send a kid to camp for a week. If we meet this goal I will run 25 10Ks between March 14th and Mother's Day.
$5000 raised will send a kid to camp for 2 weeks. If we meet this goal I will run 25 10Ks and on the race day I will complete the run and turn around and run back to the start line.
I challenge all of you to put me through my paces!! Thanks for supporting Campfire Circle!
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.
