CRUISE FOR A CURE
at Lake Raystown!!
Sunday, July 13, 2008, 1:30 – 3:00 PM
Despite a heavy downpour during the drive from the Altoona Area to Hesston, PA,
22 people braved the storm to cruise Raystown Lake on the Princess and participate in the Team Sarcoma Initiative, an effort to increase public awareness of sarcoma and the need to do more to fight this disease. More than 58 teams in 12 different countries and 20 states within the United States participated in events as part of the 2008 Team Sarcoma Initiative.
Erin D., Erin W., Paolo and Ryder, four of our local survivors,
were present and enjoyed the scenery and company. Pictures of the event are now online.
