The reason that our club holds this event is to raise money to send local disabled veterans for an all-expenses-paid fly fishing trip to Utah's Green River ( a world class trout fishery ) through a non-profit organization called Rivers of Recovery. Rivers of Recovery is the brainchild of Dan Cook, a former Wall Street executive and energy trader. On an round-the-world fly fishing trip, Dan saw a  news television show about the struggles veterans suffering from post traumatic stress. His own brother is disabled and Dan saw the value of outdoor activities.

In some medical testing, Rivers of Recovery had found some actual measurable physiological benefits for the veterans. He has a webpage on the website summarizing the tests.

Figure 4.0. Results indicated fly fishing trip linked to an acute significant reduction in reports of hostility (e.g., scornful, irritable, loathing) from baseline (M = 15.95, SD = 5.92) to Day 3 (M = 8.63, SD = 2.61), representing a 49% reduction from baseline.
