New York Jets kicker Mike Nugent participated in the inaugural cruise and is enthusiastic about participating in 2009, "I am completely in," he said. "The cruise was the most fun I have ever had. I loved mingling with everyone."

Craig Krenzel agreed with Mike. "My wife Beth and I had a tremendous amount of fun on the first cruise," said Craig. "The players and fans were great and Stefanie continues to be an inspiration to all of us. Everyone likes a mid-winter vacation, especially one that benefits such an incredible cause. We can not wait until the next one!"

"Our hope is that Buckeye fans will join us onboard to fight cancer," said Stefanie Spielman. "Together we can make a difference!"
