Comments on: St. Croix Hospice Regatta http://www.gotostcroix.com/blog/2010/01/stcroix-hospice-regatta/ For complete St. Croix coverage, use as needed!

It should be a fun weekend, and we hope to raise enough money to ensure that everyone on St. Croix will get the end-of-life care they need. Remember, it's not only the patient that receives the benefits of Hospice care - it's everyone who cares about the patient, too. The one regret we hear from families about hospice is that "we should have called them sooner." With funding provided by the regatta's efforts, there will be no excuse for delaying the benefits of hospice on St. Croix. We're sailing a regatta this weekend inspired by competition and enhanced with compassion. We are not alone, however, but one of 29 national hospice regattas in the U.S. and Canada, sanctioned by the National Hospice Regatta Alliance. Winners of each regatta get invited to a national hospice regatta championship held in June in Rochester, NY. Get a boat, get a crew, come and sail with us!
