CardioStart will host its Eighth Annual Fishing Tournament leaving from Tarpon Lodge, 13771 Waterfront Drive, Pineland, Florida on beautiful Pine Island.  Breakfast starts at 7 am and the boats depart promptly at 8 am, returning at 12 noon with an Awards Banquet following. The fishing tournament will give Cardiostart an opportunity to perform humanitarian missions that provide free heart surgery and medical services to children and adults in medically underserved countries. Cardiostart volunteers teach local doctors and nurses advanced cardiac care, improving outcomes and saving lives.

There are rooms available at the Lodge for those wishing to stay to enjoy the area. Please call (239) 283-3999 or visit the website: www.tarponlodge.com and mention that you are with the CardioStart Tournament.
