My Story

I am honoured to once again join Team Benjamin the Brave in the SL10K in support of Campfire Circle.

Benjamin, the son of my niece Kaitlin and her husband Dave, continues to be cancer-free after being diagnosed with LCH, a rare disease and form of cancer. During his treatment at SickKids, Ben greatly benefited from the visits and activities provided by Campfire Circle.

Every donation helps bring smiles to the faces of children with cancer and other serious illnesses. If you are able, please consider making a donation.

With heartfelt thanks,

Jane

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.
