My Story
I am running with Team Benjamin the Brave! Ben in my grand nephew and in January 2022 at the age of four was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. After twenty-five rounds of chemo, a number of surgeries and countless pokes and prods, Ben has been declared cancer free. (April 2024) It goes without saying that no child should have to go through this trauma. The sad reality is that many do.
CAMPFIRE CIRCLE provides an opportunity for kids with serious diseases to go to summer camp and enjoy some respite and normalcy for a week or two.
If you are able please make a donation in support of this incredible camp. No amount is too small!
Thanks for taking the time.

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. |
