I visited Justin’s Beach House last year. My photos are from that visit. This home is like no other. I mentioned that when I wrote my original post. I still feel the same. It was an emotional tour, and at the same time you know that this home brings so much joy and peace even if it is for a few days or a week.
If you are interested in staying at Justin’s Beach House, please visit the website and read about it…http://www.justinjennings.org/about-us. Your stay is free of charge, but there are procedures to be followed.
Some of your questions might be answered by visiting http://www.justinjennings.org/faq.
The Mission since the beginning has been the same; “to support and maintain a home in the Bethany Beach area where families with cancer can have a place of respite and enjoy some fun family time. It is a place of joy and peace at the Beach”.
The story behind Justin’s Beach House is that of a son who was taken from his family way too soon. And, his name was Justin.
The house was built in partnership with Contractors For a Cause. Local builders that helped the dream come true.
The home is big with plenty of bedrooms and rooms. All wheelchair accessible.
It does have an elevator.
The kitchen is big and the dining room has a large table for plenty of guests.
Throughout the home there are rooms for relaxation and watching t.v.
The house has beach chairs and beach toys.
And, it does take money to run. Justin’s Beach House has a few fundraising events throughout the year, but the biggest one is the Justin’s Beach House Memorial Day Weekend 5/k Run/3k Walk. It will be on Saturday, 5/27 at 7:30 a.m. in Bethany Beach. $25 to pre-register and $30 the day of the race. You can visit http://www.justinjennings.org/5k-run-walk for complete details.
There will be a festive post-race party on the Bethany Beach Boardwalk, Tech Tee-Shirts for All pre-registerred participants, awesome Awards for overall, masters and age groupers, free goodie bags, free pre-race kiddie dash (no registration and no tee-shirts provided).
This event will be a sellout! Have a good One!!
