It's cold outside but warmth is radiating straight from my heart. I'm feeling really good about the positive impact I can have on others as well as myself. One way I influence myself to do better is by running ~ I really enjoy it! It can be challenging to exercise outside during the winter but I am greatly looking forward to doing some running for charity around my city.
I've taken time to look through the running calendar and I've registered for my first (of many) run and fundraiser! That is why this week I'm making a donation to Camp Oochigeas ~ they've been providing camp experiences for children affected by cancer since 1983. It is more than a no-cost summer camp! Ooch is the only residential camp in Ontario to offer on-site IV chemotherapy treatment and blood transfusions, year-round programs for children affected by cancer in Muskoka, at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), two other regional cancer centres and Ooch Downtown in the heart of Toronto.
As a registered charity receiving no government funding, this is all made possible by the generous support of fundraisers, donors and volunteers. Cancer changes a child but so does camp!
Please help by getting the word out and supporting my run ~ any help is appreciated!
