Bass Fishing

this is a strange request but my friend is dying and he has one request....

Uploaded on August 25, 2009

dear field and stream readers,

This post is true and real and very much heart felt. My name is adam and a friend of mine emerson was diagnosed with cancer in march 2009. The doctors have given him less then one year before he dies. He is an avid fisherman loves to be on the water and loves to fish. What i am trying to do while he has the strength and the energy is to give him a day or days of fishing. All summer he has been in and out of the hospital and chemotherapy. so all he wanted was to go fishing, but he did not have the time because he was so ill from the treatment and exhausted. his diagnosis is terminal. i just want to give him a day he will never forget while he is still able to enjoy. we live in Indianapolis, Indiana. Is there anyone who could take my friend out fishing that lives close by? I don't have lots of money i am on disability myself, but i will do what ever it takes to give emerson a day on the water doing what he loves to do. can you help?
my name is adam my cell is 317 615 9590 my email address is milgrainchoppers@gmail.com. thank you all so very much in advance for any help on making this come true.

I wish I could help but I live in Decatur, IL. I am sure someone from your area will offer him a good time. I know I would if I was closer. Good luck and tell your friend to hang in there, the Dr's aren't always right, at least about how long he may have left.

Come on guys, I can't believe my fellow sportsmen won't take an afternoon off to help this poor kid. For those of you who have children as I do imagine if it was your kid and you weren't around to do it yourself. I myself have just started a new job(commission only) so I am not really in a position to make over a 300 mile round trip plus picking the kid up, driving to the lake, etc. You get the idea. Hopefully this is not needed and someone has called Adams cell phone or emailed him. Anyhow it's a good thing your trying to do this for your friend Adam, good luck!
