My Story
Team Nomi Runs for “No More Treatment Day”.
Let me tell you about one of Campfire Circle’s traditions. On a child’s first visit post-treatment, they get a small celebration called “No More Treatment Day”. There’s cake, there’s singing, there’s a full-grown human adult dressed in a Zeddy costume (yes, that Zeddy, and no, I’m not really sure why). It’s campy, it’s silly, but it’s shockingly heartwarming. It’s a reminder of the road these families have been down and that smoother roads hopefully lie ahead.
This year is Naomi’s “No More Treatment Day” year at camp, having finished her active treatment in November.
We appreciate any amount you can give so kids can continue to have these experiences. If you want to run with us, send me a DM/text, and I’ll give you the code to get on the team.
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. |
