This past weekend there were too many things for Kate to do — and they were all really important to her, so she wanted to do them all. And she did, or at least partly…
First, it was Camp Ooch’s Teomul Weekend At Camp so she took the bus up to the Muskoka’s on the Friday afternoon, and then her dad drove up and brought her home (asleep) on Saturday evening. She had one night and a FULL day of fun there!
Early Sunday morning, we were off to the starting line of the Scotiabank run at Ontario Place. She ran the whole 5km, in 33 min! This run was so important for her to do because we were supporting Dr. Jay Children’s Grief Centre. We raised $1250 (thank you!).
After the race, we couldn’t stick around to meet with the Dr Jay’s team this year. She was off to Camp Ooch downtown for 4 hours of Ukulele and guitar lessons.
I can’t believe she had the energy to get through, but she did, and was in great spirits afterwards. The staff at Ooch provide her a strong sense of community, one that (for her) includes Nora. She still is in good spirits a couple days later — she’s downstairs right now practicing Country Roads on the guitar!
