Leukemia Cup Kayak Tour in Deltaville on May 10
on Tuesday April 22, 2008 11:59AM
The 10th season of Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup activities begins next month in Deltaville. The fun starts with the Kayak Tour to be held again this year at the Deltaville Maritime Museum and Holly Point Nature Park from 9AM to Noon on Saturday, May 10. The launch site at idyllic Holly Park provides the perfect protected venue on Jackson Creek for this event while allowing convenient access to the big waters of Chesapeake Bay if conditions allow. This tour has become increasingly popular over the past years, and co-sponsor, Bay Trails Outfitters, will provide kayaks for newcomers and those without kayaks if you register early. Otherwise, bring your own kayak and gear.
Equally a fundraising event, kayakers are encouraged to raise funds to help fund research and find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Prizes are given to the top three fundraisers and the leading fundraiser will take home a special award. Refreshments will also be available and an informal reception will follow the tour. For an online registration form, go to www.leukemiacup.org/va. Further information can be obtained from Jan or Shawn Towne at Bay Trails Outfitters, 804.725.0626 and email kayak@baytrails.com.
