Hey, fellas. A good friend of mine has a son in need, and a bunch of people are making a concerted effort to get help from the fly fishing community all over the U.S. Read on for more info. The auction goes live Thursday. Great stuff and a terrific cause…
Dear brothers and sisters of the angle,
If your fishing buddy twisted an ankle during the last fifteen minutes of daylight of the last day of the best hatch of the year, you’d reel in and help him back to the car, right? Have to think about it? Well, here’s one that should require no thought at all. Vinny Warden, the precious three-year-old son of one of our good friends (Brian) and his wife (Kara), needs help. Now, 64 of Vinny’s “aunts” and “uncles” want to give you the chance to get some great stuff for yourself while helping the Warden family defray the expenses associated with their son’s care.
Who is Vinny?
Vinny was born with an extremely rare neurological disorder called Canavan Disease (CD). Only about 500 cases have ever been documented in the US. Because he lacks a gene that controls acid build up in the white matter of his brain, his motor functions are severely affected. Since his grey matter is not affected, his thinking ability is not diminished. But he cannot walk or speak or even hold up his own head. He can, however, reach out, communicate through noises, and smile and laugh to let you know he is happy. While there is no cure for CD, we want you to join us to help the Wardens make Vinny as happy and comfortable as possible while we are graced with his presence. You can read more about this wonderful little boy at http://www.vincentshope.org or on
V-bay: the charity auction site to benefit Vinny Warden.What is V-bay?
As suggested by the name, V-bay is a charitable auction of (generally) fishing related goods and services donated from the heart.
You’ll find:
Flies of all kinds: Unique fresh and saltwater selections handmade by some of the most skilled and inventive tiers around.
Gear: Quality new and gently used rods, reels, nets, and other essentials you wouldn’t want to hit the water without.
Services: Take a guided trip or boost your fishing and tying skills with the help of Vinny’s aunts and uncles.
Vinny’s attic: To us, you’re like family. Feel free to poke around here. You never know what you might find.
