Aiming to CureJM in The Wires & More!
What a week! I am so very grateful for all the support for Aiming to Cure JM. In just a matter of days, we reached $2607 and 26% of the goal. Jim Shepherd wrote up an amazing feature about the effort on “The Wires.” Beyond Jim’s background in journalism, he has a wonderful way with words and his article and kindness mean so much.
This is Rare Disease Week, a week when advocacy groups are trying to make the plights of their “orphan disease” sufferers known- and encourage people to take action on behalf of their sufferers.
Thankfully, it’s not something anyone in my immediate family’s going through. But I learned about Rare Disease Week because someone in our extended outdoor family is going through it.
Julie Golob has been a friend, fellow shooter and all-around advocate for gun rights and the shooting sports since she was a teen. Like Kim Rhode, I feel as if I’ve watched Julie grow up before my eyes. Today, she’s a well-known competitor, author and advocate for gun rights and shooting sports, but she’s also a mom.
Read the full feature article in The Outdoor Wire archives.
If you don’t know about “The Wires” you really should. The Outdoor Wire and Shooting Wire specifically are how I keep up with all things in the firearms industry. From press release information from manufacturers to insightful articles, they keep you up to date via your email inbox. The best part? They are 100% FREE!
Social media is great, but we all know that often we don’t see what we really want to see, especially when it comes to guns. For communication about the shooting and outdoor industries, you won’t want to miss out. Head to the subscribe link to sign up for The Outdoor Wire, Airgun Wire, Archery Wire, Birding Wire, Dealer Wire, Fishing Wire, Hunting Wire, Shooting Wire, and the Tactical Wire.
Also this week, I got a call from Tom Gresham of Gun Talk Radio! I’ll be on the show this Sunday, March 1st, at 2:05 pm Eastern to talk about the NSSF’s Gun Owners Care initiative and our rare disease story. Learn more and how you can tune in for the show at guntalk.com/gun-talk-radio. I’ll be sure to share links to the podcast once they go live as well.
Check out one of the first target shares with some excellent shooting from Brian Hill of The Complete Combatant…
Brian also made the suggested $23 donation. We are grateful to him and the 16 other new donors since my last post. Thank you all!
