A fleet of 30 boats displaying the Leukaemia UK logo on their sails will put on a spectacular racing display on the River Crouch next week.
Thirty national sailing champions will be taking part in the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club’s 61st Endeavour Trophy on October 7th – 9th.
The annual event is this year being dedicated to the memory of Pat Buckley, who was involved with the club for almost 30 years and acted as race Recorder during the Endeavour Trophy for many years.
Pat was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in April 2021 and died in January 2022 at the age of 73.
Pat’s husband Edwin, 75, shared many sailing adventures with Pat during their 52 year marriage and is also an active member of the club. He himself recovered from cancer in 2012.
Bringing together the leukaemia community, we will accelerate progress through life-changing research, doing everything we can to make sure that the next person with leukaemia has the best possible experience of diagnosis, treatment and care.
