Hooking The Cure
35 sponsors are already hooked on helping
the cause.
The Fourth Annual Help Hook the Cure Derby
will have boats from all over Massachusetts on the waters of Boston Harbor
between 5AM and 3 PM on August 23, 2008. Nick Frasso, along with the
Winthrop Lodge of Elks, will lead the charity event benefiting Parkinson
disease research. A BBQ featuring a DJ and raffle prizes will begin at 3
PM to announce the winners.
"Everyone always has a great time and a lot
of laughs at the derby," says Nick Frasso, diagnosed with Parkinson
disease in 2000, "I named my boat the Shake N' Bait because a little humor
helps me stay positive."
The derby, organized by Frasso, was
highlighted in the summer 2006 issue of Parkinson Report and has raised
$35,000 to date. The catcher of the largest striped bass will go home with
$1000 while the person with the second largest will receive $250. Kids
will receive a trophy for their participation. Head to Boston Harbor on
August 23, 2008 and help hook the cure.
