My Story

Hello! My reason for running is because I have seen firsthand the impact that Campfire Circle has on kids and afamilies affected by childhood cancer.

My own son was diagnosed with ostoesarcoma when he was 9 years old. Campfire Circle provided a space where he could go play games, experience the outdoors and make friends inspite of his  medical condition. They are equipped to provide the necessary care the children need. I run for this cause because they truly make a difference in children's lives!

Please donate and support my team. We want to reach past the goal and every bit helps!

Sincerely,

KJ♡

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.
