TED NUGENT Makes A Difference

May 6, 2009

Legendary rocker Ted Nugent continues to make a difference in the lives of others and, in his words, connect with "people who matter." Yesterday, a young Florida girl suffering from a life-threatening medical condition traveled with her family to Texas to spend four days with Nugent at his SpiritWild Ranch with the help of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. As reported in the South Florida Sun Sentinel (May 5, 2009): "Brianna Curry, 6, of Jupiter, is battling a brain tumor and became a fan of Nugent by watching his reality show 'Spirit of the Wild' on the Outdoor Channel. Make-A-Wish Foundation officials say Brianna even enjoys the rocker's music."

Last month, Nugent hosted a 6-year-old little boy at the ranch via Make-A-Wish, and later this week he'll be joined by twelve wounded warrior heroes of the U.S. military who will shoot, fish and BBQ with Ted and to hear his powerful song "Fred Bear", which connects deeply with young and old alike. Ted comments on the emotional effect of "Fred Bear", inspired by famed American bowhunter and lifetime Nugent friend Fred Bear: "I know what the song means. There are literally thousands and thousands of stories like these that my life has been blessed with. It is truly a spiritual phenomenon."

This August, viewers from around the world will have the opportunity to experience Ted Nugent's wilderness skills on his new series "Runnin' Wild…From Ted Nugent". During this eight-episode competition series on CMT, the iconic rocker, hunter and modern-day Davy Crockett teaches ordinary people how to survive in the wild, and then evade the master… Nugent himself. The show will feature competitors who struggle in wilderness-based endurance challenges created by Nugent and his eighteen-year-old son Rocco, with only one competitor emerging as the winner.
