My Story
Hello!
I will be running the Sporting Life 10k on May 12th in support of Campfire Circle, an Ontario-based organization that creates summer camps for children with cancer. Campfire Circle's work means that kids can experience the joys and freedom of summer camp, while having their medical needs taken care of.
Some of my best summer memories growing up are of going to Camp River Ranch and Camp Orkila in Washington State, and I can imagine that the camp experience — being outdoors, singing songs, and making friends — would be even more transformative and healing for a kid going through cancer treatment.
Thanks in advance for your generosity and support!
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. |
