Our Story

We are Team Jack Nixon, and we will be running the Sporting Life 10 km to raise funds for Campfire Circle in his honour.

On December 3, 2024, we lost an incredible young man: sixteen-year-old Jack Nixon,  after his courageous battle with brain cancer. 

While our lives have been changed forever with his passing, by supporting Team Jack Nixon – consisting of Jack’s family and friends - you will help make it possible for kids like Jack to experience the joy of camp.  Campfire Circle is truly magical.  It brings light and happiness to children affected by childhood cancer.  This is what Campfire Circle did for Jack in August 2024 and we are forever grateful for his experiences at camp that summer. 

Jack would love the idea of his friends and family raising money on his behalf to allow someone like him to have the same experience at Campfire Circle. 

 Thank you for your support of Campfire Circle and all the amazing things they do for kids!

Description

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.

When you donate to Campfire Circle you build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being.

With your support, we can offer our programs at no cost to families and grow our circle of care so that every eligible child can benefit from our innovative and impactful programs.
