Raleigh Gamer Doc - Happiest Place on Earth for Local Boy, Alex Marriam

Alex Marriam Celebrates His 11th Birthday in Style at Raleigh Gamer Doc

Gamer Doc video games prides itself on being a dynamic, positive member of the community, and when Alex Marriam held his 11th birthday party at our store at 10251 Little Brier Creek Lane last month, all of his friends kept telling him what a great time they had and what a cool party it was. One of his friends even called him a hero.

The party was such a hit that his mother, Angel, wrote to tell us all about it. In her letter she said, “The kids had an awesome time, the staff was great to us and made sure that the kids were all happy and we were happy as well.

“Alex’s party made him feel like he was in the spotlight, and that he was the center of all the attention, he went on and on all night. Thanks for making him feel that way, he has had it tough for most of 11 years. Our older son has been in treatment for a rare cancer and followed up for the past 10 years and was finally released from all of the doctors last year, so we’ve all had it pretty tough.

“This is our year of normalcy; we get to have holidays, birthday parties and a real vacation possibly! This party was a great start, so many thanks again!”

Alex’s brother Nick was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma cancer when he as six. He and his cousin Shelby McKnew launched the Nickelby Project, Inc. to collect items and make gift bags for kids with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. More information can be found at: http://www.nickelbyproject.org/.
