She says\ , "My inspiration was my daughter in law\, Trish Corliss\, who was diagnos ed with a rare type of Ovarian cancer at the age of 34 around three weeks after her first child\, Gracie was born in February of 2012. She spent the first year of Gracie’s life having an ovary removed and all the terribl e treatments to help her survive cancer\, something a young new mother sho uld not have to endure. After that Trish started trying to Pay it Forward by establishing Team Joyful Hope for Stand up to Cancer. I desperately was trying to help from afar (they live in Indiana). I was talking to my cust omer\, Gary Fagan\, who owns Acadia Nature Cruises\, and we shared stories of dealing with cancer. He then looked at me\, and said directly\, “Fil l a Boat!” I did not know what he meant\, so he said it again\, but this time it was “Fill My Boat.” He offered his boat for free\, which hold s a hundred or so people for a two hour cruise\, and all the money people paid went to Team Joyful Hope and Stand up to Cancer. Over the last three years we have been able to raise over $10\,000.   Trish is now cancer fre e\, and with the help of one healthy ovary gave birth to my 4th and young est granddaughter\, Ellie in November. They all are coming to Maine in Sep tember to cruise Frenchman Bay on September 18th for the 4th annual Fill A Boat. I could use help\; from Rotarians mostly by attending and/or help ing prepare small platters of finger foods. The time is 4-8 on a Sunday af ternoon\, and there is a requested donation of $25.    This may be my la st year of doing this\, but it has been hugely fun and well supported. I a m deeply grateful to everyone who can or has helped. The attached picture shows some of our Rotary members and the families…Martha Abbot\, the Wro bel family\, Scott and Debbie Hammond\, and I believe Dean and Penny Read. The four offices that I am affiliated with all pay for their employees an d spouses\, which amounts to around 30+people. As I said  the boat holds 100\, and it does not seem fair to Acadia Nature Cruises if I don’t get the boat filled!  This year the cruise has even more meaning to me as I l ost my younger to a very fast moving aggressive cancer in June.   I am al so looking for donations of raffle items.   DTEND:20160918T220000Z DTSTAMP:20260904T160545Z DTSTART:20160918T200000Z LOCATION:Acadia Nature Cruises SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:Fill a Boat UID:da222e25-11e0-4ec5-97e9-ea86286ef2a7 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
