Marcia Buell's Fundraiser
My Appeal
I am taking the Team of One challenge, which is again walking 26 miles in a month to help support Camp Onestep's Marathon Team. Camp Onestep is a camp for survivors of Pediatric Cancer. Camp Onestep does so much for these kids - it helps them physically, socially and emotionally. Camp Onestep is the step to help kids regain their lives after a cancer diagnosis and debilitating treatments. And this fundraiser will help Onestep send more kids who suffered through cancer to camp. Please help my cause and cheer me on to walk the distance of a marathon, even if it is over many days.
My Progress
Marcia is walking 26 miles and raising funds for Camp One Step by Children's Oncology Services. Please show your support and donate generously.

My Cause
The Mission:
Camp One Step by Children's Oncology Services believes that cancer should not prevent a child from enjoying the simple joys of childhood. When kids are diagnosed with cancer, childhood can swept away by appointments, treatments, and hospital visits for the child diagnosed and for their brothers and sisters. Camp One Step gives childhood back by providing free programs for children diagnosed with cancer and their families so they can enjoy fishing, arts and crafts, and games that promote inclusion.
We are one of the very few organizations in the country who provide programming exclusively for children who have a sibling with cancer. During Sibling Camp, children who have a brother or sister with cancer can have fun, laugh, and and spend time with peers who understand their unique journey.
About the Organization:
Camp One Step by Children's Oncology Services is a leader in providing empowering, supportive, educational and fun experiences for children who have been diagnosed with cancer. We are the only local organization to offer 11 different programs throughout the year serving children and families who live in Illinois, Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest. Thanks to our 400 annual volunteers, including medical professionals, children who are in different stages of treatment have the ability to attend our One Step Programs. Over the last 45 years our organization has served more than 15,000 campers.
We exist to heal scars that no one can see such as fear, isolation, depression, lack of support and no longer fitting in. Through community, support and shared experiences with peers, we deliver happy, pain free medicine called “camp."
WE EMPOWER KIDS IMPACTED BY CANCER,
ENCOURAGING THEM TO TAKE ON THE WORLD!
