My Story
Welcome to my story! I'm Michael Magnus, a passionate advocate for running, the great outdoors, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of children facing serious health challenges. Beyond the rhythm of my running shoes, I find immense joy in the simple pleasures of sitting around a crackling campfire, gazing up at the vast night sky.
In my journey as an avid runner, I've discovered that there's a unique magic in the union of physical activity and the outdoors. It's a magic I'm determined to share with children and families affected by childhood cancer or serious illness through my fundraising efforts for Campfire Circle.
Campfire Circle holds a special place in my heart because it understands the transformative power of joy, especially for kids navigating health battles. Through its in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, this incredible organization creates year-round opportunities for children to build friendships, develop social skills, and enhance their self-confidence and resiliency. In a world where over a thousand kids were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic, the mission of Campfire Circle becomes even more critical.
Join me in supporting Campfire Circle through my #SportingLife10K fundraising initiative. Together, we can make a tangible difference by giving kids the chance to simply be kids—rediscovering the spark of light and laughter that is at the heart of healing through happiness.
Your donation becomes the spark that makes Campfire Circle burn bright. Let's join the circle and contribute to the well-being of these incredible children and their families. Because, together, we can help children thrive and families heal through the transformative, camp-inspired programs of Campfire Circle. Join me in being a part of the solution, one step and one donation at a time.
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. |
