My Story
This year is my 9th year running the Sporting Life 10k and I am once again raising money for Campfire Circle in memory of Cassidy, one of my best friends. Cassidy passed away from Cancer in 2015 at the age of 14. Camp was a place where Cassidy could have fun and be a kid, even when undergoing cancer treatments.
This year I have the pleasure of being able to volunteer at camp for 2 weeks. My Goal is to raise $5000, enough to send a kid to camp for each of the weeks I will be volunteering for!
Please help me send kids to camp, every child deserves the opportunity to have fun and be a kid but it's not possible without the help from people like you!
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. |
