I have been a volunteer with Camp Not-A-Wheeze for over 10 years! I started as a respiratory therapist medical volunteer, and for the past 3 years I joined the board and have been serving as the board treasurer. This non-profit is very close to my heart because I have seen the difference it has made in these children's lives. I love that I have attended so many of the camps that I have been able to see these children grow and become mentors to the younger kids with asthma. I have heard countless times that they thought they were the only child with this disease, or didn't know anybody else, and now they have a whole camp full of kids just like them! Many of these kids have been told they can't do things, such as, play sports, ride horses, hike, go outdoors for long periods, and pretty much be kids, so they become sedentary, and while at camp, they learn it is a balancing game with recognizing their symptoms and treating, verses avoiding all together.
Please help out camp and provide $ for camperships, many of these children live near poverty and their parents can't afford to send them without financial assistance.
