My Story
Cancer and Sophie have been battling each other for 6 years now. We met cancer on December 8th 2017, when Sophie was 3 and a half years ago. And during these 6 years is wen we crossed path with Campfire Circle and its incredible staff and volunteers.
These selfless people helped us get through the most difficult time of our lives with their positive attitudes and infinite kindness. Everyday Sophie waited for her Campfire Circle Volunteer to come and play with her and gave us time to take a breath and rest.
These incredible people and their processes make this world a better place. And its not just when the child is in the hospital, even after they are home, Campfire Circle has so many programs for kids, their siblings and their parents.
So this Summer I run for to say Thank You to all of these amazing people and every penny collected will allow kids like Sophie to enjoy camps and other events and have a great childhood.
Description
Help deliver healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer or serious illness, it impacts the whole family. Kids miss out on simple childhood joys, household incomes are often cut in half as caregivers take on the full-time responsibility of caring for a sick child, and families struggle to make time for special experiences. When you donate to Campfire Circle you are supporting in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs that create opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. Through play-based experiences, you are helping empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. With your support, we can continue to offer our programs at no cost to families and grow our circle of care to provide additional play-based experiences across all four paediatric hospitals, and improve our medically supported and accessible overnight camps so that every eligible child can benefit from our innovative and impactful programs. Thank you for helping to build a world where children thrive and families heal. |
