My Story
I'm excited to share that I will be running the Sporting Life 10K this year in support of Campfire Circle, an organization that supports kids and families affected by childhood cancer.
This summer, I am looking forward to taking a week of vacation to volunteer as a camp counsellor at Campfire Circle's camp in Muskoka. This will be my third summer volunteering. Campfire Circle is unique in that it is the only camp in Canada where chemotherapy can be delivered on site. Programs are free for campers and families and are only made possible through the generosity of donors.
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. |
