Set sail for cancer cures - A message from Gary Jobson

by Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on 19 Jan 2012
Leukemia Cup Regatta George Bekris http://www.georgebekris.com
From the America's Cup to Fastnet to casual sails with my family and friends, I've had the opportunity to be a part of a variety of sailing experiences. In terms of personal accomplishments, my participation in the Leukemia Cup Regatta as its national chairman since 1993 has been among the most gratifying of my life.

The sailors, patients and family members I've met along the way have only deepened my resolve to stop blood cancers from taking more lives. As a lymphoma survivor, I appreciate the support of the sailing community all the more!
