Bill Rierson of Sugar Check Charity recently visited the Community Care Clinic of Rowan County where he donated money for diabetic supplies for patients. Rierson became interested in diabetes after his dog was diagnosed with diabetes. Rierson works odd jobs to raise money for diabetic supplies for free clinics in North Carolina including Surry Medicial Ministries, High Country Community Health and the Community Care Clinic of Rowan County. 

I had the pleasure of being introduced to a young man who not only is passionate about the cleanliness of the lake and puts it into action. Bill Rierson is a teenager with an attitude, a positive one that will take him soaring. His parents bought their High Rock Lakehouse five years ago, and he is on a mission.

The Riersons’ neighbor is a spry 96-year-old WWII veteran, Greer Goodman, and they connected over the lake’s calm waters, the recreational activities that are afforded to those that come out, and the natural resource it provides for wildlife.

“I do this effort because it helps our community for the greater good! It’s kinda my own version of the HRLCleanSweep,” shared Bill.

Over one weekend in December 2020, during the pandemic, a dozen family and friends including Bill’s father, Lee, gathered to work the Mainsail cove area near their homes. They hauled in more than 100 bags of trash, tires, and barrels from the lake! It was a full weekend workload. Afterward, Bill was happy to have made a dent and help Greer and the local lake environment.

Bill has his sights on a career in the health field when he grows up. He has already created a foundation, Sugar Check Charity to raise funds to purchase supplies for clinics. His reason is personal, his dog had diabetes and this remarkable young man wants to help those that need financial assistance for their loved ones.

Well done, Bill!
