It all started when Bill Farnum found out that his daughter Ella was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome. 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. 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.
Check out more information about the tournament here, and see how you can help Bill and Ella’s fight against Rett Syndrome here.
Can we place wagers on the fishpond vs. Cloudveil teams?
My $ is on the Ned/Sulli/Cloudveil team!
NED AND SULLI WERE GIVEN MANY MULLIGANS ON THE WATER. THE FISHPOND TEAM BASICALLY GAVE THEM EVERY GOOD PIECE OF WATER SO THEY WOULD NOT CRY LIKE LITTLE BABIES.
Thanks to everybody at Fishpond, Cloudveil and Backbone for their support and friendship. You guys made it an incredible event for all attending… Maybe Lecoq will pick up a fish or two and get them into the top 5 next year!
See you at FFR next week,
