My Story
I’m running in memory of my beloved daughter Chloë. She LOVED going to Campfire Circle, and couldn’t wait until she could return. Chloë always said that “camp changed her life.” At Campfire Circle, she was able to be a kid because all of the other campers had cancer too. She loved spending time in the arts and crafts room, learned how to play the ukulele, made things out of wood and clay. Chloë was not a lover of water, but loved to take photos of her friends waterskiing. I would love it if you could donate to our team. Chloë would have too. Thank you!
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. |
