My Story
Hi everyone! 🎉I'm excited to share that I'll be running my very first 10K in support of Campfire Circle — an organization that helps kids facing cancer and serious illness rediscover the joy of childhood through summer camp experiences, all at no cost to families.
As someone who still fondly looks back on their own summer camp memories, I know how special and formative those experiences can be. Every child deserves that, regardless of their medical diagnosis.
I'm a newbie runner taking on this challenge, and any donation — big or small — would mean the world to me and to the kids and families who need it most. Thanks, Julia :)
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. |
