My Story

Anyone who knows me knows how intrinsic camp is to my personal development - I spent over ten summers straight at camp first as a camper, then as a counselor. So when I saw this cause, I knew I had to get involved.

Campfire Circle makes camp accessible to kids with serious illnesses including cancer. Financially accessible by covering all costs and physically accessible by running programs in the community and even in the hospital. 

Am I a runner by nature? No. Am I training and trying? Hell yeah! Please join me in supporting this amazing cause!!

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.
