The Casting 4 A Cure event in Victor was a great success and combined with the event in Steamboat over $40,000 were raised for this wonderful cause. The team of Marc Crapo and Thad Robison of the Fly Fishing Film Tour placed first with a total of 151 inches. Jason Daneilson and Chris Rich placed first in Steamboat with a total of 168 inches. Check out some of the pictures from this year’s events and don’t forget to check back for more information about next year’s event with an potential additional event in Montana.
Casting 4 A Cure
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.
