I am unabashedly proud of Thunderbowl, but I have never been more proud than I am now!
18 months ago I had a baby born with a rare inherited metabolic disorder known as PKU. A disease that if left untreated results in a litany of health problems not the least of which is sever mental retardation. The treatment for PKU is a diet highly restricted in Phenylalanine, which is found in varying degrees in most food.
Where I live the acess to the best treatments are not as available as they should be. There is a group of people that work tirelessly to advocate for patients and family's living with PKU, CanPKU. Through donations, entry fee, and consesstions we raised $850.00 for CanPKU to continue the hard work they do.
Not only did 20 Thunderbowlers show up to play Deathbowl, a game many had never played before, everyone went above and beyond the call of duty with their generosity and sportsmanship. It was a great day and a bigger success than I could have possibly imagined!
An extra special thanks have to go out to Lord Chaos, General Jason and Tentusdementus for making the really cool Deathbowl boards, to Nit Nit for getting that great room for a nominal fee, and lastly but certainly not leastly I have to thank Thunderbowl commissioner Poundfist, without his expertise in crunching the numbers " Deathbowl VS PKU" wouldn't have happened!
I'm truly touched that we were able to do this an it means the world to me to be able to help those that are trying so hard to help folks in my position. S.
