My Story
Campfire Circle has been a wonderful place for me ever since the age of 6. From in-hospital activities to summer camp, Campfire Circle and all its volunteers have helped me immensely throughout my cancer journey. I am proud to support them by running in the SportingLife 10K, and hope to raise as much money as possible for kids currently suffering with cancer.
This year, thanks to the Shave for the Brave fundraiser, everyone who donates plays a part in watching Gord lose his carefully cultivated hair, a longtime prized possession. By donating you are helping so many children gain incredible memories and supporting countless opportunities for kids with cancer to just feel like kids.
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. |
