My Story
Did you know I used to be a camp counselor? I know how much joy and how fun it was for all the campers between the ages of 6-16.
Campfire Circle is a very special camp brings much-needed joy to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. I lost my dad and my father to cancer and being affected by cancer takes away a lot of opportunities and fun experiences. It really sucks for grown ups and I can't even imagine how hard it is for kids to be faced with cancer or a serious stillness. If there's a place that can bring joy to kids while battling their illnesses and to enhance their quality of life, I'm all for it.
That’s why I’m fundraising for Campfire Circle!
Through its in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, Campfire Circle creates opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. Help me raise funds for Campfire Circle to give kids the chance to just be kids, regardless of their medical diagnosis. Together, we can reach more kids and families across Ontario. Join the circle and donate to my #SportingLife10K—help deliver healing through happiness!
So- even though I'm not a fan of running, I get out of my comfort zone and I run 10K every year in support of this amazing cause.
I'd appreciate your encouragement and support. 🙏
With gratitude,
Garlice
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. |
