A Race for Cancer to Celebrate
the Survivors and remember those we have lost along the way.
The Heaven Can Wait 24 hour race was conceived and
promoted by Lake Macquarie resident, keen sailor and cancer survivor
Shaun Lewicki as a major annual sailing event on the lake, to promote
sailing, the Lake Macquarie/Newcastle/Hunter region – and
to raise funds for cancer research.
The inaugural Heaven Can Wait 24 hour race was held
on Lake Macquarie during the 2006 October Labour Day Long Weekend
and attracted over 30 boats. In 2007, it was again held on Labour
Day Long Weekend with the fleet almost doubling in size.
The 2008 event, the Heaven Can Wait 24 Hour yacht
Race, One Lap Dash and other races have been scheduled by the Heaven
Can Wait Yacht Club for October 4-5, 2008 and a significant growth
in fleet size is again expected.
If you own a sailboat that can comply with YA’s
Category 5N requirements, start planning now to come along and make
your own little bit of history on NSW’s Lake Macquarie during
the October 2008 Long Weekend.
Proceeds will benefit the NSW Cancer Council
and the Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol
