| Venue Name: | 19th Annual Mile of Hope | | Description | | The Mile of Hope is an event to offer children suffering with cancer and their families a fun filled "get away" weekend at the beach. For the past 18 years, hundreds of patients and families have enjoyed the Mile of Hope weekend. Our special children are from all over eastern North Carolina, and they are being treated in the Pediatric Oncology Departments of the hospitals at ECU in Greenville, UNC in Chapel Hill, and Duke University in Durham. The Mile of Hope has been recognized locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally for the benefits the event has provided to the patients as well as to their families. The event will involve over 100 children and family members enjoying a weekend of lodging, food and fun at the beach. This year's theme is "Pirates", and features sand sculpting, a harbor cruise, fun at an amusement park, hunting for shark's teeth, touring the N.C. Aquarium, and interaction with real pirates!
Come to Atlantic Beach on May 2, 2009, in front of the Atlantis Lodge, and enjoy the sun, the fun, and seeing our special children building sand castles and expanding their dreams of the future. We encourage you to build your own castle in the sand to share in the enjoyment.
For information, contact the Atlantis Lodge at 1-800-682-7057 or Mile of Hope chairman, Ed Moore, at 919-782-6471. This event is promoted through the Optimist Club of Raleigh, N.C.
