My Story
It has been just over 12 years since our son, Jack, was diagnosed with cancer and the wonderful people at Campfire Circle sought him out at Sick Kids Hospital to try brighten his day. What started as a simple trip down the hall to colour (without us parents hovering over him) soon became a long lasting relationship with this wonderful organization. Jack went on to become an avid in-hospital, in-city and Muskoka participant in every program going at Campfire Circle. Their kindness and ability to make Jack have fun despite his battle was truly amazing. Helping raise awareness and fundraise by running the Sporting Life 10K each year is the least we can do as we will be forever grateful!
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. |
