<b>Leukemia Cup Regatta Raises $135K for Cancer Research</b>
The National Capital Area Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) held its 16th Annual Leukemia Cup Regatta on Sept. 12 with 100 fund-raising boats participating. The event, held at the Washington Sailing Marina in Alexandria, raised $135,000 for the fight against blood cancers, the leading disease killer of Americans under 20.
The Leukemia Cup Regatta recognizes race winners for several classes of sailboats, but the trophy is awarded to the team that raises the most money for blood cancer research and patient services. The Leukemia Cup trophy is engraved with the names of the top fund-raising boats and is displayed at the Washington Sailing Marina. For the third year in a row, the Dickson family was awarded this top honor for raising $26,000. The team included all five members of the family: Tim, Albie and their three sons Mac, Campbell and Brody.
