Our Story
We are running to raise money for Campfire Circle, not only because it is a wonderful organization, but because our family has been personally impacted by childhood cancer when Thomas was diagnosed with liver cancer at 19 months old. Going through cancer treatment at any age is unimaginable, but it seems that much more unfair when the patient is a child. We are so grateful to have made it through and now have a healthy and happy 7 year old. We are also grateful that there are places like Campfire Circle, where children whose lives have been affected by childhood cancer can go and experience camp just like any other kid. Thank you for your donation and your help to provide an unforgettable experience for kids who have already been through so much.
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.
