Our Story
With time, memories fade, stories become diluted and images are blurry. I am grateful for the photos and videos of our family. One photo can trigger an avalanche of memories. There are always smiles and laughs among the tears. Simon and I traveled back today, remembering some special times in our last months with Edyn. We re-visited Edyn's obituary:
Edyn lived fully, kindly, and with incredible grace. From the beginning, she was wise beyond her years. Never a day passed without smiles, laughter, goofiness, and celebration of some kind. Edyn’s bravery was astounding and guided us all through the most difficult of days. In her final moments, we spoke to Edyn about how she made us better people, and how she warmed the hearts of everyone she met. Edyn had the gift of connecting with the smallest of children, the oldest of adults, and everyone in between. Our family, Michael, Kristyn, and Simon, will forever live with Edyn’s gentle spirit. Her love of life inspires us to live in the moment and to always be kind. When remembering Edyn we think of “What Would Edyn Do”. In this we look for the good in every moment; we smile, strike a pose, dance like never before, turn up the music, and always be grateful.
Please join us in our 10th walk for Edyn. Let's send kids to camp!
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.
