Our Story
On May 11 (Mother’s Day!), we will be participating in the Sporting Life 10K, fundraising for Campfire Circle.
The Campfire Circle team made such a massive difference to Esmé’s journey in 2023. They connected us with similar kids and families, and frequently brightened our day with activities like music, crafts, and slime-making at Esmé's bedside during endless hours at hospital, and also time away at Camp with other families going through similar things. Campfire Circle made our time at SickKids much more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined, and gave Esmé much-appreciated distractions in the long days at hospital. The team really took the time to get to know us, and Esmé became a regular attendee at the Campfire Circle craft room at SickKids. It is such a joy that she is out the other side and can now enjoy school and an active life, while looking forward to Campfire Circle activities here and there. I really hope we can raise as much as possible to help other families going through this rollercoaster.

Help deliver healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families.
For over 40 years Campfire Circle has provided play-based experiences through our in-hospital, community, and overnight camps for kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. We empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis.
Now, more than ever, kids with serious illness and their families need moments of joy, connection, and healing.
