Laces for Lana Submitted by: Blair Baker (October 20, 2011)
University of Iowa, Yale and Connecticut Boat Club crew members sporting Laces for Lana.
Laces For Lana is a Yale Women's crew initiative to honor Lana Ritzel, the mother of two of our teammates who passed away of breast cancer last November. Every $5 pair of Laces supports the Get In Touch Foundation, a breast health education program. Teams across the country at the high school, collegiate and masters levels alike are Lacing up-most recently the US National Team rocked the laces at the World Championships in Bled! We will have a stand at Head of the Charles, but if you don't find yourself in Boston this weekend, you can also check out our website at http://getintouchfoundation.org/laces-for-lana. Thank you for all the support we've received so far from the rowing community and we hope to get even more rowers Laced up soon!
