I know some of you fish killers can shoot a shot gun too..and its a great cause:

Guys, gals I/we try and get together with friends every year to shoot, and this year I was inspired by a four year old boy to take our little shoot/get together and give something back.

My friend Rob, aka Choc Dawg IL, on many forums, informed me this fall that his four year old son Bryce was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. Never being exposed to such, I had no idea the impact it has. Quite simply it has changed every aspect of Bryce’s life and his family from day to day activity to every ounce of food or drink he intakes. It is a very powerful experience to see a four year old boy prick his own finger; to check his blood and make sure his blood sugar has not reached levels that could threaten his life. On top of this is daily insulin shots, counting every carb he takes in and being aware of every single thing he eats or drinks.

There are thousands of kids out there that are dealing with this every day, and as I thought of my own 2 year old son and what it would be like to deal with this, I wanted to do something. I have little money to donate off the top, and when Rob mentioned he wanted to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) walk and donate the money in Bryce’s name, I knew this shoot would be a great way to help Bryce raise money.

I have asked Rob to come on and post up with Bryce’s story. Please read his story, view his video and think about the kids in your life.

If you would like to donate but cannot attend please email or PM me or see Rob’s post below for information on donating to the walk.
