| Mark Story, President and CEO of Queenslander Tours said “it's our privilege to support the Denver Affiliate of the Komen Foundation."
According to Story, Sherry Moore, Queenslander Tours’ Service Manager got the company involved. Moore , like so many, lost a loved-one to breast cancer and wanted to do something.
“When Sherry told me 2007 will see more than 40,000 people die of breast cancer I was stunned. The death rate is staggering and we want to be part of the solution. It’s the perfect way for us to give back and honor Denver citizens affected by cancer.”
Cruise For The Cure is for the entire family. There will be seminars and cancer specialists onboard to answer questions. It’s for the patient, the caretaker, the survivor, anyone affected by the disease. It’s also a way to support the Denver Chapter of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Story added "We believe just to be away from the pressures of everyday life is a gift this cruise brings. Joining others who know exactly what you’ve been through will help to build bridges of commonality and life-long friendships."
Corporate sponsors for of Cruise For The Cure include: Bald Lady Coffee; Ramblin’ Express; Dr Scott Ohmart, DDS, and Colorado Dance Sport.
Queenslander Tours was founded in 1993 and continues to provide tours and cruises for groups and individuals across the United States . For additional information about this cruise, visit www.QLTours.com or call 1.877.865.6711.
