My Story

On May 10, I’ll be participating in the Sporting Life 10K to support Campfire Circle.


Campfire Circle creates unforgettable camp experiences for kids with serious illnesses and their families—whether in hospitals, in the community, or at medically supported overnight camps—giving kids the chance to just be kids.
I’m fundraising because this cause is close to my heart, and I’m aiming to raise $1,000. Just $500 can help send a child to one day of overnight camp.
If you’re able to contribute and would like to make an impact, I’d be so grateful for your support!
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.
