Sunday, September 7, was the Pink Boat Regatta. An event to help raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation - obviously a cause that is rather close to my heart (literally). Seattle and the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club have been hosting this event for 2 years now, and back in February, the organizer, Ashley, and my husband, Neil, sat down and thought about hosting 2 regattas on the same day. One in Seattle - the other in Bellingham.
Sunday was the culmination of a ton of planning, heroic volunteer efforts, and an overwhelming amount of monetary support from both communities. I'm told that they will announce the final amount on October 1, but I think we can safely say it will be well over $50,000. A-MAZ-ING!
We even had a news crew from Seattle come up to interview me! The reporter, Kristin Drew, had gotten wind of my blog (pardon the bad pun) so they included me in the story about the Pink Boat Regatta. How cool is that!?
