Lake Conway Wipeout Announcement - We want to let all of our supporters know that we will not be having another Lake Conway Wipeout. The event has been a huge part of our lives and the lives all our friends, especially our Co-Creator, Ben Carter for the last five years. We thank everyone for their amazing support over the years.
This event grew from a silly idea for a weekend at the Sand Bar to an enormous charity event. You all helped raise over $25,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Unfortunately, the success of the event was also it's downfall. The impact on the community and our personal liability became too much to manage. We discussed many ways to address these issues; but in the end, it was just too big to fix.
Stay tuned to future announcements as we will still likely do another type of fundraiser for the Leukemia society later this year. And since we are boaters, it will definitely involve the boating community and our marine and community sponsors.
We live with Leukemia in our home every day, and we have medical research to thank for keeping it under control.
In the meantime, you can follow our boating and sailing adventures at our new site http://www.thesailingrode.com/ and hit the Facebook and Twitter logos on the site to Like / Follow and keep up with latest updates.
Thank you again for all your support. See you on the water soon!
