My Story
I’m running the Sporting Life 10K this year to raise money for Campfire Circle, which provides medically supported camp experiences for kids facing serious illnesses.
Being able to run 10K is something I’m really grateful for. The ability to move our bodies freely, feel strong, and be active is something many of us don’t think twice about. But there are a lot of people, including many children, who live with serious health conditions that limit their ability to do those things safely or comfortably.
Part of why health and fitness is so important to me is because I don’t want to take that ability for granted. I’m running because I can, and in this case I’m running for kids who can’t.
For many children dealing with serious illness, things that are a normal part of childhood can be harder to access. Campfire Circle helps fill that gap by creating camp experiences that are medically supported so kids can safely participate, have fun, make friends, and create the kinds of memories every child deserves.
If you’re able to support, even a small donation helps. If running isn’t something that’s accessible to you, donating is another way to show up for these kids. Every little bit truly adds up.
Thanks for supporting this cause with me❤️
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. |
