Ambassador Profile: Erika Campbell
Erika Campbel: Barrie, Ontario
Erika, 11, supports her friend, Adam Fedosoff, through his diagnosis and ongoing treatment of High Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
Erika Campbell is 11 years old and resides in Barrie, Ontario with her mom, dad, family dog, Fritz and two rats, Vada and Bella. Erika attends Algonquin Ridge Elementary School and her hobbies include basketball, volleyball, cycling, skiing, swimming and hot summer days on the family boat.
Last year Erika volunteered for the Sears National Ride and went from Toronto to Halifax. The experience is one that will stay in her heart for the rest of her life. The children she meet were very sick but they were so happy that this event was happening for them with the hope to bring an end to their suffering. The riders and crew worked so hard to make this event successful that I wish all the love put forth could cure these kids and stop the pain of cancer.
I am blessed with parents that listen to my dreams and help me act on them. I have wonderful family and friends that support me in everything I do. A school and community that is not afraid to get involved and make a difference no matter how much work it takes.
I would like to thank my family, friends, Teachers and the community of Barrie for changing the future of childhood cancer forever.
I am very honoured to be an Ambassador for Coast to Coast Against Cancer.
