MY WHY
Cancer hits close to so many, including myself. I've had many friends and family impacted by cancer, and lost my dad after his very short battle with CNS Lymphoma.
My dad was always a very generous person, often showing his support to many charties that helped children. This is why Campfire Circle hits so close to home. As a father of two boys, and losing my dad to cancer, it's very difficult for me to imagine the struggles a child endures during their battle with their illness.
FOR CAMPFIRE CIRCLE
Help me and the team raise $10,000 again this year to support sending these kids to camp. These experiences allow them to momentarily forget about their illnesses and do what they do best... play, and just be a kid.
Description
Bring Joy, Friendship, and Connection to Kids Who Need It Most Every day, thousands of kids across Ontario face cancer or serious illness – and miss out on the moments that make up childhood. Laughter, friendship, and adventure are replaced with hospital visits and isolation. For 42 years, Campfire Circle has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. Through our in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, we create opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. By providing play-based experiences, we empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. Today, more than 40,000 children in Ontario are living with serious illnesses. With your help, we can reach even more of them. Our goal is to serve 10,000 kids by 2030, and when you donate to the Sporting Life 10K, you join a circle committed to that vision. Your generosity ensures every medically fragile child can experience Campfire Circle’s life-changing programs when they need it most, at no cost to their families. Together, we can grow our circle of care and help deliver healing through happiness to more kids and families across Ontario. |
