The Leukemia Cup Regatta series is about more than boats and crews racing. It's about thousands of sailors who have elevated their competition to a whole new level - they race to save lives. Participants in the Regatta raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of local patient honorees: the Honored Skipper and Honored Crew Member. These honorees provide inspiration and motivation, and represent the daily and lifelong challenges that a blood cancer diagnosis brings. To get involved in the 2010 Regatta, contact Jared.Nielsen@lls.org at (763) 852-3004.
