EP 18 Captain Pat Dwyer - ALS Fundraiser & his story told by some of his friends - Here, Hold My Feet I Can Fix This!

A little different one here guys, we try to capture stories before they are gone but sometimes they happen before we have a chance to listen or find their course. Much like a vessel with a following sea or a wave to the side, we can all be broadsided and take one that is too big to handle. When faced with the biggest wave of his life, Captain Pat Dwyer steered his course to securing the future for his family and did what any terminal man would do, he bought another boat. 

 

Please take a listen to some of his best friends sharing his story and click the link to donate: Russ Ostrom, John Garner, Steve "Harley" Davidson and Ian Pitzman. They tell a story as only a close brotherhood can.
