Fundraiser for a fellow angler in need

[Jmills81]

Hello team WFF,

When a friend needs help, you help without question

Many of you know a good friend of mine, Andrew Grillos. He worked for years at Avid Angler, guided in AK, Chile and Colorado amongst many things. He's an innovative fly tyer, rod designer and a HELL of a dude.

Last week, he suffered a massive stroked and had to be airlifted from Bozeman to SLC. Prognosis is cautiously optimistic at this time, but it's super early

there's going to be months of recovery ahead, so a group of good friends have organized a couple ways to help if you're interested

Here's the go fund me that goes directly to Andrew and Autumn (his loving wife) for their medical and living expenses.

Also I've launched another IG fundraiser like we've done a few times under the tag #fliesforandrew

Drop an auction of flies, guided trips, art, gear, whatever on your IG page. Make sure to use the tag #fliesforandrew in the post. Make the auction run 7 days, and set an opening bid to get it going

Let me know I can help

Thank you all!

Andrew is great, I always enjoyed seeing him on the river and in the fly shop, I’ll be adding some stuff to auction shortly for him. Stay strong homie.
