Uri\u2019s favorite activity is not languishing in a hospital, away from all his friends, missing out on the day-to-day fun that comprise a young boy\u2019s life. Uncomfortable treatments and scary machines did nothing to make his stay more enjoyable.\u00a0 But the monster named Cancer that had recently entered his young life did not ask him if he wanted to undergo a long hospitalization period. Uri was a trouper and bravely tried to ride out the months with a minimum of complaining.<\/p>\n

\"pr<\/a>And then it was over. Uri was released. With a congratulatory handshake, the staff at Ezer Mizion\u2019s Home for Children with Cancer rejoiced with Uri and offered him a medal for bravery in the form of any trip of his choice. \u201cFishing,\u201d shouted the newly released prisoner.\u00a0 And a fishing trip it was.\u00a0 How do you like his catch? And how about the grin on his young face\u2026almost as big as the\u00a0 \u2018giant fish that got away\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ezer Mizion\u2019s Donald Berman Rehabilitation Center provides professional therapy for children with cancer using the most up-to-date techniques including sand play, music therapy and\u00a0 animal therapy. In keeping with the medically accepted concept of emotions having a great effect on the body\u2019s ability to\u00a0 fight disease, fun days, parties and trips are an integral part of Ezer Mizion\u2019s services. For a five year old, it may be a day as an \u2018assistant policeman\u2019 at a real police station, for a six year old musically- inclined incipient radio star, it may be an opportunity to sing on a real radio show. For some, a plane ride or a trip to a lego demonstration. Ezer Mizion leaves no stone unturned to bring joy to its young patients.\u00a0 Ezer Mizion: where Dreamotherapy partners with Chemotherapy in the battle for life. L\u2019chaim!<\/p>\n
