Fish-A-Thon For A Cure 2012 Is Just Around The Corner
This Saturday, July 21st, I will be participating in the 2012 Fish-A-Thon For A Cure at Deer Creek Conservation Area, near Long Point, Ontario.
This great event was started in 2009 by Ryan Bonin when he found out that a family member had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. That first event raised over $3,100 for cancer research. After last year’s event, the total raised by Fish-A-Thon For A Cure is over $20,000!
The idea behind the event is to spend a day fishing and collect pledges for it. The pledges go to a great cause – helping find a cure for cancer – and the anglers get spend a fun day on the water, enjoying the camaraderie of the sport.
There are prizes for the most pledges, the biggest bass, the biggest fish, and completing the Deer Creek grand slam.
If you would like to donate to this wonderful event, you can go to the Fish-A-Thon For A Cure home page and click on the ‘Donate’ button near the top of the page.
I’m thrilled to be part of this event and can’t wait for Saturday.
