My Story
Many of you will not know this… when I was 8 I would occasionally experience debilitating pain due to an unknown issue, that felt like appendicitis. It took a while to figure out what it was and there were moments I thought I’d die. Thankfully I was able to see some world-class doctors and had a kidney removed, and have since lived without pain free with no limitations on my life.
I was lucky. Many families go through this and worse with their little ones, without such an ‘easy’ fix, and don't have the resources or access to the care I got.
Thats why this will be my 12th year straight doing the Campfire Circle Sporting Life 10k, to support families & children suffering from serious illnesses. If you’re interested in sponsoring my run, and helping me smash my previous fundraising totals, please donate.
I’d also encourage you all to support World Kidney Day by checking out this page, its got tons of helpful resources: https://www.worldkidneyday.org/
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. |
