My Story
This Mother's Day, I'll be running 10K to raise money that will go directly towards Campfire Circle - providing kids with cancer and other childhood illnesses access to amazing in-hospital and overnight camp programs.
I'm passionate about supporting this organization - not just in fundraising, but also as their Board Chair.
I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend Camp Trillium (now part of Campfire Circle) with my siblings from the age of 8 - shortly after I was diagnosed with cancer. It was such a great experience that I couldn't wait to go back every year!
I now want to help raise enough money to help send at least 2 kids to camp for a week - $5,000.
Please consider donating to help me achieve this goal, or join me in the run and set your own fundraising goals!
Thanks,
Kristine
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.
