Casting 4 A Cure

It all started when Bill Farnum found out that his daughter Ella was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome. Ella Bill wanted to find a way to help raise money to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, so he decided to combine passions to make a difference for Ella and other children afflicted with this potentially curable disease. Casting 4 a Cure So with this second Casting 4 a Cure event this summer, Bill decided to head to Victor, ID (a.k.a. fly fishing mecca) with 20 teams of two people each to fish and raise money for the International Rett Syndrome Foundation. A team from Cloudveil including Mr. Steve Sullivan himself and a team from fishpond including co-founders John LeCoq and Dave Thompson will be among the lucky participants. Have a blast out there and catch some fish for a cure.

I can’t say if its a good or bad thing that Forbes.com named Glenwood Springs, but I guess it justifies why I live here.

I’ve only made it to three of them to fish, so it looks like I’ve got to head out in the new (but well used) Sportsmobile and do some fishing.
