BERLIN -- Several physical miles and a million symbolic miles away
from sterile medical offices, needles and debilitating treatments is an
idyllic horse farm in Berlin where dozens of kids battling
life-threatening diseases have found a brief but joyful respite all
summer, thanks to Believe in Tomorrow and two local girls who shared
their love of horses and horseback riding.
The Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation offers children
fighting disease and illness and their families a retreat in Ocean City
from the daily grind of treatments and hospital visits and allows them
to enjoy a summer vacation similar to that enjoyed by most families at
the beach. Each week all summer, six families arrive at the Believe in
Tomorrow House by the Sea on 66th Street for a week of fun in the sun
and activities arranged by the Director Wayne Littleton and his staff
including surfing, fishing, Coast Guard tours, mini golf and amusement
park visits, for example.
