On Sunday, April 14, I am taking part in HorizonWALKS DC, an annual walkathon devoted to raising vital funds and awareness for Horizon Day Camp Metro DC. This is the world's first full-summer day camp for children with cancer and their siblings, provided entirely free of charge.
Why Your Support Matters: Horizon Day Camp, along with its Year-Round Programming and In-Hospital Recreational Activities, brings joy to hundreds of children affected by pediatric cancer. Your contribution can make a genuine difference in ensuring these resilient kids enjoy their summers.
Being only a few years in remission from cancer myself, I can vividly recall the isolating hospital stays, the uncertainty, and the overwhelming challenges that defined those days. The struggle to feel like a normal kid in abnormal circumstances is something that stays with you long after treatment ends.
That's why the impact of Camp Horizon is so profound—I have seen firsthand the transformative effect it can have on children with cancer and their families.
Horizon Day Camp’s ability to trade hospital routines for the simple joys of being a carefree child once again is a gift that every child with cancer deserves, and it is only possible with donations from people like you.
Every contribution, regardless of size, directly supports these children and their families. Your generosity can create lasting memories and bring smiles to their faces.
