Public Speaking
Main Mission:  Teach the world that "Disability does NOT mean No Ability."

This mission is primarily at those with disabilities who have lost hope.  We hope to
help hope grow anew in their hearts.  However, we hope to change people's opinions
about the disabled.

How will we work towards this mission?

1.  Set an example.  Be a profitable professional bowler.  As a person with a
disability, earning an income as a professional athlete should set an example to those
with disabilities.

2.  
Speaking tour.  We plan on speaking engagements in the areas that
tournaments are being hosted.  We hope to speak to support groups, students,
anyone who has lost hope.

3.  
Website writings.  This whole effort spawned from the question, "Sponge, how do
you stay so positive?"  I decided rather than write a book for profit, I would reach out
to the disabled through a free website.  These writings show my own hard-learned
philosophy of life.  I have been down the dark road, I hope to lead many out of the
dark place that is self-pity.

4.  
Political activism.  We have already written numerous letters to politicians of all
sorts, hoping to make a difference for the disabled community.

5.  
Message board.  The "Leaning Post" is a place for those with problems to be
mentored and mentor others with the same problems.

6.  
Raise awareness.  Draw attention to those I cross paths with that, like myself,
refuse to give in to despair.

7.  
Draw Media exposure.  Enlist the help of the media in changing people's
attitudes about a disability.
Side Missions:

1.  Raise awareness of the devastating effects of Crohn's disease.

2.  Increase publicity for the Professional Bowler's Tour.  Bowling gets little respect
and media attention.  I hope to make a bit of a difference for the PBA in any way I can.
