Help us raise money

Every Mother's Day we walk, run and ride our scooters to help Campfire Circle give a little bit of childhood magic to children going through some of their hardest days...just like they did for our Serena.

Just weeks before our sweet girl's 3rd birthday, Serena was diagnosed with cancer.  Her days, which were once filled with daycare and trips to the park, quickly became defined by hospital admissions, surgeries, chemotherapy, transfusions and isolations.  It was hard to see how Serena would get to just be a kid in the midst of all of this but Campfire Circle brought the magic of childhood back to Serena and all of the children at the hospital.  It didn't matter if we were in the hospital for a week long stay or just there for the afternoon, there was always a fun craft, activity or singalong happening where we watched Serena light up with excitement and joy in the middle of a very grown up experience.   This is a priceless gift that our family could never repay.  

I once read a quote from another family that went something like this:

"Sick Kids healed my child's body but Campfire Circle healed her soul" 

I couldn't say it better myself.

Serena's treatment ended more than 5 years ago but she still enjoys Campfire Circle experiences throughout the year and can't wait for another week at sleepaway camp this summer.   This organization helps our girl shine brighter with each moment she spends with them.

Thank you for your support!!
