Joe Writes: 10 Years ago on July 26,2000, I surfed every single day for one Year here in Northern New England. That's 365 Consecutive Days without missing a single Day. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. I did it in memory of my late father Gus. My Dad turned me onto surfing. I raised $33,000 for the ADA(AMerican Diabetes Association).
I called it "Catcha Wave For Gus!"
That was 10 years ago this summer. On July 26, 2010... Exactly 10 years ago to the day... I'm going to do it again. This time for Cancer. And more specifically for Lil Miss Molly Rowlee. I'm calling it... "Catch a Wave For Molly!" I'm letting you know for several reasons. First, I need your support. I need to know that the surf community (world wide) is backing me. Second, we all know someone who has either last a battle to cancer, or is currently fighting cancer, or is a cancer survivor now. My Mother Eva passed away from cancer in 2007. My best friend Joe Somogyi, lost his battle to cancer in 1978. Our good friend Linda Paugh lost her fight last December 6, 2009. the list goes on and on... In short, cancer has touched all of us all. There will be more info as the day grows closer. 10 years ago, I did it for Gus... I'll do it again for Molly and everyone else who's dealing with cancer.
