As some of you may have heard thru FB Jay Hanecak's 14 month old son Owen was diagnosed with leukemia this past week.

He has been under going treatments and doing good so far, but been at the hospital full time.

Obviously this is a very trying time for jay, his wife, Owen and their families.

Please keep Owen in your prayers and thoughts going forward.

We are working on a fundraiser/raffle to help out with medical expenses, missed work and growing bills.

Lots of donations already coming in.

Will keep everyone posted on his health and updates for the raffle/donations.

Thank you and god bless.

If you'd like to donate please contact me via PM, my cell # changed for anyone that may have it FYI

Chris, a good friend of mine went through this with his daughter a number of years ago and she is 100% now. If I can help with hospital contacts for Boston hospitals or to talk directly to my friend and his wife, let me know. I am in. Send me your new cell. Need to catch up with you too.

Thoughts and Prayers sent. Nothing worse than having a sick child.

Thoughts, Prayers and donations being sent.

Thoughts and Prayers are up - as well as FR assistance.

sorry to hear- if its any consolation- kids typically do much better than adults with stuff like this...

will keep all of them in our thoughts

Thats awful, thoughts and prayers sent.

Thoughts and prayers from my family to Jay's. Very sad to hear. Donation coming your way.

wishing the best

:( so sorry to hear this
Sending good positive thoughts
I guess it really is true that everybody is dealing with something.

May love pull you all through this, Jay.

Let me whet your whistle and loosen your purse strings for Owen...

I will donate to the fund raiser a lure you can't buy. It was a special run from 2013 that I was the lucky winner of in a 2014 raffle from our friends at Surfcasters Journal. New, and unfished, not even dusty as I did not have it out on display. The Super Strike #^&Bunk O’Lantern Darter.

Chris, when you can, set up the auction and I will send out to the winner. Sorry not to have PMd you, but want to get some folks ready to contribute to a worthy cause.....

DO NOT BID HERE. An auction is being set up.

And now I will go find it.........
