Lowtide 17th Sailors from around the Pacific
Northwest will come together and raise their sails to help raise money to fight blood cancers in the 17th annual Leukemia Cup Regatta. A post-event party and auction will be held following the race at Elliott Bay Marina. How it works
Skippers register their boats and
recruit their friends and colleagues to help crew and raise funds. The registration fee includes two tickets to the after-party that evening, an event t-shirt and a skipper swag bag. Great fundraising incentives The top fundraisers will win great
prizes for the efforts and may be eligible for Fantasy Sail, an annual weekend of sailing with and against Hall-of-Famer and ESPN sailing commentator Gary Jobson. This year’s Fantasy Sail takes place in New York Harbor in October. For those participants bringing their
boats from other marinas and yacht clubs, Elliott Bay Marina is offering free

moorage for the night – must be reserved in advance.
Making it personal Local sailors and winners of Seattle’s
2010 NOOD Regatta Michael L. Johnson and Joy Okazaki will be participating this year for the fifteenth time. They hope to win in the Leukemia Cup in a different kind of way–not by taking line honors but by raising as much money as possible. They have dedicated their
fundraising efforts to their good friend and avid sailor Brian Miller. Mike and Joy have sailed together with Brian for more than a decade. Brian is fighting multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer. He was diagnosed in January 2009 on his 61st birthday. Brian retired from Pemco Insurance in 2003, and most recently did a stint as manager of the Corinthian Yacht Club in Seattle. Last November, Mike and Joy
invited Brian and his wife Susan to sail with them at the 2010 Caribbean NOOD

Championship. They placed third overall and it was a very special sailing trip for Brian who had spent the better part of the past two years getting monthly six to seven hour blood transfusions to fight his disease. The disease has now progressed enough that transfusions alone are no longer sufficient, requiring chemotherapy to begin this month. Brian remains strong and optimistic,
saying, “In the past, a multiple myeloma diagnosis meant less than three years to live; the prognosis now is often over ten years. The sailing community has had a big hand in this, raising tens of millions of dollars over the years through Leukemia Cup Regattas across the country and I am very grateful to be part of such a generous community.” To register your own boat at:
