About the 2005 Yellowstone

Cuttie-Thon

Zac Sexton and his English Setter, Mojo, completed the first-ever Cuttie-Thon at just after 4 p.m. MST, Friday, Sept. 22, 2005. After more than 34 1/2 hours of fishing, Zac and Mojo crossed the finish line delirious and elated. Check out the press release here.

A special thanks goes out to Zac's parents, Tom and Tricia. They were his backbone, helping along most of the route. Thanks also to everyone who has donated. It means a lot to the Yellowstone ecosystem and to diabetics the world over!

The Cuttie-thon Foundation is still taking donations and will be raffling donated goods soon. Zac will be giving presentations across the country to several diabetes and conservation groups. Please contact Zac if you'd like to schedule him to give an inspirational and informative presentation about the Cuttie-thon to your group.They hope to raise more than $40,000 to distribute to several non-profit organizations. With your help they can!

Sexton, a type I diabetic, sees this event as a great way to show others it is possible to live an exciting and meaningful life with a possibly debilitating disease. Sexton will be donating funds to the Children's Diabetes Foundation, which funds the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, where he goes for annual check-ups. Those funds will aide the center with several projects to help diabetics live better lives.

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation will also be receiving funds from Sexton and Well's efforts. The JDRF will use the funds for projects researching a cure for diabetes. To see more on the JDRF visit: www.jdrf.org.

Zac's tentative plan is to begin at Loch Leven and fish all the way to Carbella bridge, as described in the map below.
