Help us raise money

For participating in 2023 Sporting Life 10K

Our Story

For our 5th year running the Sporting Life 10k, Lara and Noura are featured in the promo video that really says it all https://youtu.be/MCjAUIX7yJ0

On Sunday May 14th we will be running the SL10k in person. We welcome new friends this year joining Team Lara to run with us and help raise funds for one of Laraʼs very dearest of places, Campfire Circle (formerly Ooch). 

Since her cancer diagnosis at age 2, Campfire Circle has offered the magic of camp experience and has come to mean so much to our whole family. 

Please consider helping Team Lara raise money so other kids with cancer can enjoy the camp experience. 

No amount is too small! 

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.
