Our Story
Our family has been through a challenging journey, with Giuseppe being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in February 2021. Despite the difficulties we faced, the team at SickKids has been a constant source of support and comfort for us. Campfire Circle has played a significant role in our lives, providing us with assistance and guidance during Giuseppe's hospitalization and recovery process.
As we approach the end of Giuseppe's treatment in April, we have decided to participate in the Sporting Life marathon to give back and show our gratitude. This marathon holds a special significance for us, as it symbolizes our journey towards healing and resilience. We run not only for Giuseppe but also for all the individuals and families who have been touched by illness and adversity.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who wishes to join us in this meaningful cause. Your support and participation mean the world to us, and together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need. Let's run for hope, strength, and a brighter future for all."
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.
