Our Story
This team runs to support Henry, who started going to overnight camp at six years old and just weeks after he was diagnosed with leukaemia. Even though he was at camp when he was receiving regular chemotherapy, it gave Henry the chance to be a kid again and forget what he was going through with cancer. Throughout the years, Campfire Circle has provided our family with countless opportunities to reconnect, have fun, and enjoy being together. It also offers a reprieve for families going through some of the worst moments in time. Please donate to support Henry and other kids like him!
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.
