The “Leukemia Cup Regatta” Sailboat Race is Saturday, June 6
Enjoy this beautiful sunshine we are having in Seattle and make your way down to Seattle’s Elliott Bay to cheer on the 15th Annual Leukemia Cup Regatta. Proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for research on these diseases and other blood cancers.
I came across this race while reading an article in the Everett Herald, by Rich Myhre, about three sons of different Monroe Police Officers, who were all strickened by ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) and all treated at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
The races will start at 1:15 with a post race party going from 6pm-11pm. Please visit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society page to find more info and read some very inspiring stories.
I always love to see companies that sponsor charity events and I think they should be thanked and hopefully if you have the opportunity to support them, you will.
Thanks to our local supporters:
Downtown Sailing Series (I couldn’t find a website, but there are some awesome sailing photos on this Flickr Account!)
I hope to get some pictures from this year’s events and stories to post. If you took part in this event, please feel free to contact me with stories, photos and memories.
