Our Story
In 2021 at 15 months old Owen was diagnosed with AML. He spent the next 7 months at Sick Kids Hospital fighting. In October of that year he was in full remission! During his stay at SKH volunteers would visit him to blow bubbles and sing songs, he loved these visits and it was time for him where he could just be a kid. Due to the pandemic these were some of the only visitors he was allowed. In the summer of 2022 we got a chance to go to Campfire circle at Rainbow Lake and it has been a highlight of the summer for Owen and his brother since!
Camp has brought Owen so much joy. That’s why we are fundraising for Campfire Circle. Through its in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, Campfire Circle creates opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. Help us raise funds for Campfire Circle so kids can take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. Together, we can reach more kids and families across Ontario. Join the circle and donate to our #SportingLife10K to help deliver healing through happiness!
