Casting For Recovery Fly Rod Raffle

For those of you who haven't met Zeb, know that first off, he's just a great guy. I've wanted to add one of his rods to my arsenal for years now but due to his full schedule and my lack of $$, it hasn't happened...yet. I've had the privilege of knowing Zeb for a few years now, and what you see here is what you get, a stand up guy looking out for the sport and some of the awesome causes behind it. 

An example of one of those causes is Casting for Recovery. CfR is an organization with "the mission of Casting for Recovery is to enhance the quality of life of women with breast cancer through a unique program that combines breast cancer education and peer support with the therapeutic sport of fly fishing. The retreats offer opportunities for women to find inspiration, discover renewed energy for life and experience healing connections with other women and nature. CfR’s retreats are open to breast cancer survivors of all ages, in all stages of treatment and recovery and are free to participants."

I've personally seen this organization act as a true foundation for healing. Its amazing what this sport can do when put into the right hands. With most of us affected indirectly by this terrible disease, I think CfR can resonate with almost all of us. Check out what Zeb and CfR of the Mid-Atlantic is doing...
