NEWSLETTER - 22/06/07

Hey Super Sleuths, This week we open with a story that will touch your heart. Little Kenny Nguyen is a 13 year old boy suffering from shuffleitis, a disease that makes him want to play games all the time. It is untreatable and the Starlight make a wish foundation asked him want he really wanted to happen before his disease overcame him. He said what he really, really wanted was for his hero, The MIGHTY Allan Sharpe, to come to Magic Nationals with him in July so he could experience the thrill of seeing a genius at work. The MIGHTY Allan Sharpe has retired from play which requires him to travel for many years now, having nothing left to prove at an international level, but when approached by Starlight immediantly agreed to grant this little boy his wish. Its gestures like this and many others that make The MIGHTY Allan Sharpe not only a champion on the tables, but also as a human being.
