Family Vacation from CancerMore at http://umc.org/videos/ Children living with cancer are enjoying free vacations thanks to Surfside United Methodist Church in Myrtle Beach, SC. In the past 25 years, members have raised millions of dollars to provide trips to the beach and fun for cancer patients and their families.
