Pink Ribbon Fishin 2023
Hey there Team,
Just thought I'd share a few pics and some in-sight to a charity we started last year in W.A. supporting Breast Cancer and the McGrath Foundation.
In late 2019 my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and as covid hit our shores she was going through multiple operations and months of chemo and radiation. She kicked cancers arse and is one of the main reasons after she recovered that we sold up everything and now live a life semi-retired and fishing and working up and down the west coast and beyond.
Since her treatment I wanted to find a way to give back to some of the charity's that helped her so much, one in particular was the McGrath Foundation and we were lucky enough to have a breast care nurse stationed down in Bunbury during Kel's treatment. So I had got into a bit of rod building and thought of somehow making pink fishing rods and raffle them off but with the help of a mate and a bunch of crew we were able to get a few custom rods built and also some amazing prizes donated by some very generous local and intersate businesses.
Last year we launched it at the Perth Boat Show and this year we'll be doing the same and running the online raffle through till mid November.
We have some epic prizes this year and some of our sponsers have made some crazy pink themed fishing and spearo gear!
