Mike Durkalec Fundraiser

Fundraiser for fellow angler Mike Durkalec

http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/The-Durkalec-Family-Medical-Fund/41450

If you are an angler in Steelhead Alley, you have likely heard that fellow angler and friend Mike Durkalec was involved in a bad car accident and in ICU at Cleveland Metro.  Mike is the Cleveland Metroparks Aquatic Biologist and member of many groups including the Ohio Central Basin Steelheaders.  Mike has been a friend to many and always took the time to teach others about the great fishery we have here in Steelhead Alley.

An online fundraiser has been setup for Mike due to the increasing costs of medical expenses that may not be covered.  His injuries have been extensive and has been in ICU for several weeks.  Mike is the type of guy that would do for others without question,and now it is time for us to do for him. 

Keep on fighting the good fight Mike, and we pray for your speedy return to good health and many more fun days catching chromers with your fellow anglers and friends.  Please join me in donating to the online fund setup for Mike.
