Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC) is an example of one of these diseases, and one of its main symptoms is dementia. (Hinton et al, 2005)

    Benefit for Brisan and Parker Stults

    Parker Stults, age 3 and his brother Brisan Stults, who just turned 5 years old, were diagnosed in August/September 2008 with a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease called “Niemann Pick Type C Disease (NPC),” also known as “Childhood Alzheimer’s.” The outcome is fatal. www.bripardun.com

    Friends of the Stults family are hosting a Texas Hold’ Em Poker Tournament to benefit Parker and Brisan. Funds are needed for current and future medical costs as well as the funding of more research for this horrible disease for which there is no cure.

    We will pay out the top 10 places (cash and non-cash prizes will be awarded). A cash bar will be available during the tournament as well.
