Market Leverage is holding a charity bowl-a-thon to help one of its employees raise money for their two eldest sons, Brisan and Parker Stults, who have recently been diagnosed with a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease called Niemann Pick Type C Disease, also known as “Childhood Alzheimer’s”. There is currently no cure and the outcome is fatal.
The bowl-a-thon aims to raise money and awareness for this deadly disease. All proceeds will go to the Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund in honor of Parker and Brisan Stults. If you live in the Florida area, then why not join Market Leverage for a night of bowling and networking. Entry is only $25 per bowler and there will be a ton of door prizes given away. I’m sure everyone who shows up will receive an “I’m blogging this” T-shirt.
If you can’t make the bowl-a-thon, then you may want to help sponsor the event. Sponsorship opportunities range from donating 10 cents per pin to sponsoring an entire team. Contact Dina at 407-268-7667 or Dina@MarketLeverage.com for more details.
If you wish to make a donation to help Brisan and Parker, you may do so here. While there is no cure for the Niemann Pick Type C Disease, your donations will help fund more grants for research which could eventually lead to a cure. Currently Brisan and Parker take Zavesca (Miglustat) a trial drug that will possibly help buy them more time. The drug costs $160,000 per year. As you not doubt guess, this is putting a tremendous strain on the family. Your donations, thoughts and prays would be a great help.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Try to help from Europe. Rather make a small donation than pay a call from here. Nice move, John.

Donation DONE.! 8 Euros Via Paypal. Thank You, John. I hope it helps.
Donation sent!
I’ll make a donation when I get paid at the end of the month.
Thank you so much for posting John. Brisan and Parker are actually sons of one of our publishers (along with Duncan, another cutie). We’re looking forward to meeting some central Florida internet marketers and social media-ites at the bowl-a-thon.
We are also going to be playing some Wii bowling, and will hopefully be able to get people who don’t live in the area involved. Looking forward to interacting with everyone, and thank you everyone for supporting this great cause!
Doing good doesn’t pay. Activity that requires reader to give instead of just taking doesn’t seem to appeal either. These might be two things to take away from this post.
Will you pull out the bumpers John or don’t even need ‘em? Watch that foul line too
Thats sounds and devastating disease, I cannot even think on this affecting my 3 year old baby boy. Shame I am not there to support them, but i will donate thats what I could do.
I’ll definitely donate. Children shouldn’t be sick… what an unfair world we live in…

We all need to contribute one way or another. This is for a good cause.
Definitely. It’s always encouraging when an organization steps up to do something like this for such a great cause. Big props to MarketLeverage for getting involved like this.
