It may not be fair to promote one Leukemia Cup competitor fundraising efforts over another on the FBYC website, but life is also not always fair. Particularly to those close to us - like Rob Whittet, skipper of Wavelength. Please visit
his Leukemia Cup fundraising site where you can read his story, which includes the following quote:
This year, I registered as I always have, but things changed suddenly and drastically for me on June 9th following routine blood work. A life-threatening platelet level sent me straight to the hospital, where for over two weeks I underwent an escalating series of tests and treatments that finally culminated in surgery, biopsies, and confirmation of an earlier suspicion: Ive got lymphoma.
So, this year's race takes on a startling new significance for me. Not only will my boat (and I hope me) be a sailing participant again, but I now join thousands of others afflicted with this disease....
At the bottom of his Leukemia Cup fundraising site, you can contribute to Wavelength's goal of $10,000 and help raise it up from the current 48% of goal.
