Our Story
In 2012 we lost our beautiful daughter Stella to brain cancer and our lives changed forever.
Please help us let the world know that Stella’s fire still burns bright and that cancer did not extinguish her incredible spirit, unstoppable drive or her ability to find JOY in every day. By supporting our 10K run, you will not only help us honour and remember Stella, you’ll be making it possible for kids like Stella and her brothers and sister to have the chance to experience the power of fun, friendship and self-confidence. Camp restores a sense of normalcy, new found strength and hope. For that – we are forever grateful to you 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 participation in the Sporting Life 10K 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.
