Non-Profit Takes Sick Children Sailing For Fun Day

BALTIMORE (WJZ) ― They put on and fasten their life jackets and hoist the sails on the boats. The weather is clear and the enthusiasm high as these excited youngsters set sail for a voyage around the Inner Harbor.

The smiles on their faces hide the fact that these kids are critically ill with diseases like cancer and sickle cell. They're a part of the Casey Cares Foundation, a non-profit that helps sick children.

The Downtown Sailing Center provides the boats and the know-how for a fun event for a fun-filled day. Kids say if only for a few hours, being sick comes second to having fun.
