About this episode
Steve Ries discusses his non-profit Aiming For A Cure, which helps families affected by cancer, and shares insights on dog breeding and genetics.
Steve Ries from Top Gun Kennels in Iowa lost his son to cancer back in 2003. At his son’s request, they started a non-profit organization called Aiming For A Cure to help other families in their fight against cancer. Steve explains the mission of Aiming For A Cure today, how they’ve raised $8 million dollars to help others, why others join the fight, the details of their upcoming hunt & banquet, and how it all helps kids and families that need assistance the most. We also talk about Steve’s 35 years at the kennel, breeding and genetics in GSP’s, and finding the right dog for you. @aimingforacure | www.aimingforacure.com Presented by: Walton’s (waltons.com/), OnX Maps (onxmaps.com/), GAIM Hunting & Shooting Simulator (https://alnk.to/74wKReb), Black Gold Explorer Dog Food (blackgoldpet.com/), Marshwear Clothing (marshwearclothing.com/), RuffLand Kennels (rufflandkennels.com/) Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club (horseandhunt.com/) & Hoksey Native Seeds (https://hokseynativeseeds.com) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
