Golden Corral® Launches PHW Fundraising Initiative

This journey has been a transformative one for me, especially in dealing with my PTSD as a disabled veteran.

The process of crafting a bamboo rod, the tranquility of fly fishing, and the victories in each catch are my own forms of therapy, healing me in ways traditional medicine couldn’t. It is a respite from my typical solitary existence and a welcome diversion that offers not just a physical activity but also an engaging and rewarding mental exercise.
