Believe in Tomorrow presents 5K walk and run next Sat.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House by the Sea is bringing back its 5K run and walk on Saturday, Oct. 22, inside the Bayside Community in Selbyville, Delaware. Race participants will start at 3 p.m. outside the Cove Bar & Grill before running or walking through the community and golf course. “All money raised will be focused on our new beach cottage on 65th Street that we plan on opening in late spring of 2017,” said Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program. “It is our goal.” Organizers encourage runners and walkers to dress in Halloween costumes, make up a theme or consider entering the centipede division where participants are banded together with friends or family and run as a connected unit. An after party will begin around 5 p.m. in an outdoor tent with tunes from DJ Magellan of Ocean 98.1 and food catered by Penguin Diner of Bethany Beach, Delaware. There will be at least 20 medals awarded to first-, second- and thirdplace finishers in a range of age groups. In addition, prize categories

include best costume, centipede and fundraising contests. “We are focusing fundraising efforts on the new property because we have to figure out what we are going to do,” Littleton said. “The beach cottage will be big enough for terminally ill children and their extended family to come down including grandparents. All money we raise into 2017 will focus on the new house.” During the race, students from Stephen Decatur High School and Phi Mu Sorority from Salisbury State University are leading “Team Riley,” a child in the Believe in Tomorrow program who stayed in Ocean City See BIT Page 56
