Camp gives ill kids hope United Press International GAINESVILLE — It’s called “Esparanza,” Spanish for hope, and is the gift of country air and sunshine to 68 seriously ill chil dren from a man whose disease killed him. Esparanza is a north Texas camp for young cancer patients. “Some of the children attend ing the camp need a form of che motherapy,” said Peggy Sartain, a doctor at the Children’s Medic al Center in Dallas and camp counselor. “Several have com pleted their course of treat ment.” Camp expenses were under written by a legacy from Robert Bridewell, a Dallas businessman, 41, who died last year of cancer. He bequeathed money to give young cancer patients an oppor tunity to sleep under the stars, hike and fish. Not all greeted the country life with enthusiasm. “I don’t like worms,” lamented Paula Marshall, 7, suf fering from an acute form of leukemia. “I think they’re nasty.” Camp coordinator Sally Fran cis said, “This is the first camp ing opportunity for many of the children. A first chance for some to get to know other children with cancer. “Although they may cross paths at the clinic, it’s not the type of environment where the kids can build friendships,” she said. The one-week term Camp Esparanza last week was such a success, she said, the Children’s Medical Center plans to expand the program to two weeks next year. Kemp said the camp gave the young patients a chance to be children. “They (parents) dcwibt their CO Off STUDENT ASSOCIATION PIZZA PARTY!!
