This August, we will once again be participating in Tour for Kids Ontario, a challenging cycling adventure including cyclists, cancer survivors and volunteers. Together, we will cycle hundreds of kilometres over four days, raising funds and awareness for children living with and beyond cancer. Andrea will be riding at least 100 km each day with maybe one day of 160 km while Stephen will be riding 200 km each day.
The Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation (CTCACF) which operates Tour for Kids, is Canada’s only national charity devoted to fighting childhood cancer and improving the quality of life and the survival rates of children and adolescents with cancer. In Canada, over 10,000 children live with cancer or its long term effects, with an additional 1,700 children diagnosed with cancer each year. The Foundation through its primarily volunteer-based operating model distributes 100% of every dollar raised by individual contributors to the charities and programs supported. Event and other costs are covered through the generous support of corporate sponsors, along with the participant registration fees for the Events.
Our participation in Tour for Kids raises awareness and provides funding for three amazing and necessary children's cancer camps in Ontario: Camp Trillium, Camp Quality and Camp Oochigeas. Staffed by health care professionals, volunteers and camp alumni, these camps provide tremendous emotional support coupled with various degrees of essential medical attention. The single greatest miracle these retreats provide is enabling children to escape the shadows of cancer treatment and feel the thrill of being just another kid. Children more familiar with blood tests and doctor’s appointments are suddenly introduced to a world of sunshine, fresh air and fun with kids just like them. All activities are adaptive and inclusive, so campers of all physical and mental abilities can participate.
To raise funds for the Tour for Kids, I will be selling raffle tickets for the following fantastic raffle prizes (so far...):
