20 energized Wonderful Wacky Women sporting Teal Rowing Caps came out on April 14th to participate for the first time in the Dragon Boat Races. Two days of practice on Ole River with minimum winds wasn’t enough to prepare them for the 20 MPH winds on race day and the current in the ICW which was running hard. Nothing could stop these wacky women… You could see the determination in their faces. There was a total of six teams which participated. The event was hosted by the Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce and held at the Oyster Bar. The women…all who are avid exercisers had fun and enjoyed the sisterhood. As we all know… When you do an event together…you get to know each other better. This is one of the many fun things which the WWWs participate in… However, our main focus is raising money and awareness for Ovarian Cancer. If you would like to get involved or donate to the cause. Please contact Jimmie Sue Walters at 850.525.1975 or send email to jimmiesue@cox.net Our address is 14054 Waterview Drive, Pensacola, Fl 32507.

Thank you very much for your generosity. Your donation and/or services are greatly appreciated. Your help enabled us to make an even bigger impact in the fight against cancer. Our year was nothing short of remarkable and a lasting memory of success. By volunteering, working hard and YOUR support we made the world a better place.

Our hearts are still smiling J Not only are we raising awareness and research money for Ovarian Cancer we are developing friendships as we move forward.
