My Story
At just 4 years old, Benjamin was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), a rare form of cancer.
After his diagnosis my aunt surprised him with a very special superhero cape she'd made. Ever since he's insisted on wearing it to every treatment, surgery, scan, test and appointment.
Benjamin is truly an inspiring little superhero. For over two years now he's treated every hospital visit like a special adventure and is best known for being happy, positive, kind, affectionate, enthusiastic, inclusive and for the wonderful sense of humour that pairs perfectly with his big smile and contagious laugh.
In the spirit of Benjamin the Brave we invite one and all to join us in supporting Campfire Circle, an organization that brings joy, light, laughter and normalcy to the in-hospital experiences for our us and for medical families like ours.

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. |
