Governor Visits Children’s House, Reconnects With Cancer Patient

OCEAN CITY – Last Friday, 16-year-old cancer patient Madison Friz was supposed to be getting chemotherapy.

Instead, she was on an Ocean City deck, enjoying the ocean breeze and chatting with Gov. Larry Hogan.

“I can’t believe you were supposed to get chemo today and used me as an excuse,” Hogan joked.

Friz — whose chemotherapy was rescheduled for Monday — and her family were among several enjoying a respite at the Believe in Tomorrow House by the Sea. The house, part of a network of similar places operated by the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation, provides families with sick children with a place to relax and renew their spirits.

Hogan, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma shortly after being elected, made a point to visit the families staying at the house on 66th Street during last week’s Maryland Association of Counties conference in Ocean City.
