Rutting Ridge Foundation Action Track Chair recipients

March 9, 2017 by Jarrad Fluekiger Leave a Comment

ALMA, WI- After reviewing all the applications for an Action Track Chair, RUTTING RIDGE FOUNDATION is excited to announce this years recipients of an ACTION TRACK CHAIR. This year it goes to MAX (AGE 12) and JAKE LESPERANCE (AGE 10) of Neenah WI. MAX AND JAKE both suffer from AT, Ataxia-telangiectasia, or “A-T,” is a progressive, degenerative disease that affects a startling variety of body systems. The first signs of the disease usually appear early in childhood (the toddler stage), when children begin to walk. Though they usually start walking at a normal age, they wobble or sway when walking, standing still or sitting. The onset of this ataxia marks the beginning of progressive degeneration of a part of the brain, known as the cerebellum that gradually leads to a general lack of muscle control, and eventually confines the patient to a wheelchair.

Here are a couple pictures of Max and Jake test-driving a couple of ACTION CHAIRS for fit. Marks comments this week, “The smiles” as they cruised through the yard in the snow, no words. Thanks and bless all of you!”

Rutting Ridge Foundation would like to thank all of you that helped support the foundation over the last year. With out your support we would not be able to make this happen. Rutting Ridge Foundation will be giving one ACTION TRACK CHAIR to the family so that both kids will be able to use the chair. Once there new Action Track Chair is delivered they will be going on hunts in Buffalo County, WI with Rutting Ridge outfitters, LLC.

Rutting Ridge Foundation Inc. is a 501 c3 non-profit company (EIN #81-0756532) that was created to help physically challenged youth and veterans enjoy a hunting/fishing trip of a lifetime that they would not normally be able to experience. From hunting giant whitetails & turkeys in Buffalo County, Wisconsin, to fishing for 10 pound walleyes in the Mississippi River, it’s an outdoor adventure they will never forget!

If you would like to help support the RUTTING RIDGE FOUNDATION please visit us on our website at www.ruttingridgefoundation.org. If you would like to be part of our next fundraiser we are having a 52 gun raffle that starts on June 2nd. Please contact either Mike Bahr Jarrad Fluekiger Erin Buck Lorenson Laura Harrington or Joe Breznik if you would like a raffle ticket.

If you know anyone that would like to be a candidate for an action chair that lives in Wisconsin and is under the age of 25 please feel free to fill out the application listed on our website.

ALMA, WI- TEAM USA Ice fishing team and Ice fishing pros from across the Midwest met up in Alma, WI this last weekend for its first annual Pro Ice fishing tournament called the North American Ice fishing Circuit (NAIFC). 38 teams from NE, WI, IA, MN, WI, IL, and MI drilled 1000’s of holes to find the biggest 16 fish combo of perch, crappie or sunfish. Team Adam Trites and Chris Ginnever from Michigan took home the top honors with a 16 fish limit of fish weighing 12.49 pounds anchored by a 1.75# crappie. Right behind 1st place winners were local brother team Paul and Rick Radatz from Nelson WI. with a bucket of 16 fish weighing 11.55 lbs. Trailing in 3rd place was TEAM USA, Chad Schaub and Anthony Rodriquez, both of Michigan, came with a heavy bucket of fish that was short of a pound from winning at 11.4 lbs. Team USA next stop is at the World Ice Fishing Championship in the Ukraine.
The weekend started out on Friday with Team USA leading the seminar demonstrations with ice fishing strategies, what tryouts are like for Team USA, and other tools/presentations used during tournaments in other countries. Followed by demonstrations of using your equipment under the right conditions with help from an Aqua-view. All people attending received 50% off any purchases made with Aqua View Cameras.
Saturday kicked out one of the most memorable experiences for Team USA and other ice fishing pros been part of. Over 40 kids and parents hit the Alma Rod and Gun club for KIDS ICE FISH CAMP. Each child and parent learned ice safety and ice fishing fundamentals, followed by one on one ice fishing, with TEAM USA, off of Breckow’s landing just north of Alma. Kids from all over got an education they will never forget and memories that will last a lifetime. Each kid was able to keep their fish they caught as well as the fishing rod. HT enterprises donated these rods to each individual. HT Enterprises is the world’s largest manufacturer of quality ice fishing tackle.
Following the KIDS ICE CAMP was the charity banquet put on by the RUTTING RIDGE FOUNDATION, INC. Rutting Ridge Foundation Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit company that was created to help physically challenged youth and veterans enjoy a hunting/fishing trip of a lifetime that they would not normally be able to experience. From hunting giant whitetails & turkeys in Buffalo County, Wisconsin, to fishing for 10-pound walleyes in the Mississippi River, it’s an outdoor adventure they will never forget! Their memorable experience doesn’t stop there. We also provide our wheelchair bound outdoorsmen & women the means to be able to continue enjoying the outdoors long after their trip with us are over. Through the generous donations received from our friends, supporters & sponsors we are able to provide them with their very own Action Chair. These tank type wheelchairs allow them to go off road/trail and into areas that standard wheelchairs can only hope to go. Mud & hills are nothing more than fun obstacles. The chairs become theirs to keep, so they can experience the outdoors on their terms and access all the areas they desire.
