Deliver the Dream provides families with the life-changing opportunity to escape the overwhelming stress of a serious illness and focus on becoming families and kids again. Families find time to reunite, enjoy recreational activities, forge new friendships, and gain support from families also in a similar situation. Nearly 7,000 lives of those challenged by Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, HIV, Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, Autism, the death of a loved one and many other illnesses have been helped by a Deliver the Dream retreat weekend. Retreats are also offered to post 9/11 combat veterans and their families. All of these retreats are provided at no cost to its participants.
