My Story

Camp brings joy and healing to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. That’s why I’m fundraising for Campfire Circle. 

I first ran for Campfire Circle (then Camp Ooch) in 2008 in memory of my late wife who lost her battle with cancer. She was a big believer in the power of summer camp and we (my sons and I) honour her memory every year. This will be my 18th run - it does not get easier with time! We have raised and donated approximately $1,000,000 for Campfire Circle over the years, but we need your help to keep going! Please support my run by donating generously. My sons and I are deeply grateful for your support.

Thank you to my recent donors!
