Wii Bowl-A-Thon

Wii Bowl-A-Thon

Tonight I did my Virtual Bowl-A-Thon on the Wii. I bowled two games in an effort to raise money for the Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund. Dina Riccobono of Market Leverage encouraged me to do this since I could not make it to the event that they held down in Florida. So, I was there in spirit. I did pretty well too. You can watch the recorded video from Stickcam, which shows the games as they are played.

I also created a video after and during the bowling.

It was fun, I wish that there were people in the chat room that I could talk to between each frame or each game but that is okay. What I really hope is that people will sponsor me at $0.10 a pin per game. I bowled a 181 in Game 1 and a 191 in Game 2. It must have been something about bowling for charity because that was the best I’d bowled in a long time and I even made (Pro) in Wii Bowling after Game 1. So if you’d like to donate $18.10 for Game one or $19.10 for Game two or even $37.20 for the whole night then please go directly to The Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund Donation page. (You could round things up 🙂 I won’t tell 🙂 )

The other part of this was that I sent down some hats and some calendars to give as door prizes to the people who participated. I even sponsored Tim Jones on Team Affiliate Summit. I hope that he did well. His team came in second overall so that is great to hear.

Here are a couple more of the photos I took using the intervalometer while I bowled.

I can’t believe how trim I look in this shot, camera angles I guess.

I thought the White Man Overbite was just for dancing.

Hug your kids

Hug your kids

Just hug them and keep them safe. There was a major tragedy that was simply horrifying that happened in MA this weekend and the details of the case have made my heart so sick. Then I read about a tragedy in California and it is just so senseless. When I heard about these things the only thing on my mind was getting home and hugging Eva. I’d go through anything to protect her.

Tomorrow night in Florida there will be a group of people bowling to raise money for a family who would do anything to help protect their two sons. The Stults family is struggling very hard to raise money for treatments for their sons Brisan and Parker. Market Leverage is sponsoring a charity Bowl-A-Thon in addition to some BenSpark.com hats and Photo-A-Day Calendars I’m sponsoring one of the bowlers, my friend Tim Jones. While I cannot be there in person I am going to try and bowl with them on a virtual level.

Sponsor me as I Wii Bowl as a Virtual participant in the Market Leverage Bowl-A-Thon for Niemann Disease Pick Type C. Sponsor me at $0.10 a pin so we can raise money for the Stults Family and the Niemann Pick Disease Fund. Leave a comment letting me know that you would like to be a sponsor and then On Tuesday night as I Wii Bowl on Stickam I’ll let you know how many pins I knocked down.

* – # pins means # points at end of each game. So if I throw a spare and then knock over 3 pins I have a 13 in the 1st frame. If it was just pins my total possible score if I was perfect would be 100 but as we know in bowling a perfect score is 300, so the number for which you would be sponsoring would be the number of my score at the end of the game.

You can sponsor 1 game or two and then donate directly to the fund.
