Big Battle for Big Jim McLaughlin
June 17, 2008
A long, long time ago I was working my first job after college at an advertising agency. One of the projects I worked on was designing the first ever, and subsequent issues of “Just Fishing”, Big Jim McLaughlin’s newsprint magazine. It was a lot of hard work, a lot of fun and it was great meeting Big Jim. He’s a big man, with a big heart, big stories and a big sense of humour.
Big Jim, recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, faces the toughest battle of his life, and now his old friends at Muskie’s Canada have set up a raffle to assist the big guy in his fight.
“Everybody knows Big Jim and what he has done as an ambassador for fishing,” said Matt Clay of Muskie’s Canada. Four awesome prize packages have been put together with the help of local vendors and are being raffled off at $5 a ticket. Each package is valued at more than $1,200 and each ticket offers a chance to win some great tackle, with proceeds going to help Big Jim with his cancer treatments. It is a small price to pay for a guy who has helped so many in the outdoor community, so I urge you to dig deep.
To purchase a ticket, please call Clay at (613) 723-9234 or e-mail him at mattclay@rogers.com.
