Skateboarder Raised $500k And Saved The Future Of Special Kids
Alec Carter has been skateboarding since he was 5 years old and is now one of the best professional skateboarders in the world.
Alec’s biggest supporter is his little sister, Laila, who is differently abled from other kids. As her only family left, he has been taking care of her. But he could never give his sister the education she needed.
In fact, Laila isn’t alone. Dozens of other kids like her can’t get the education they deserve as there were no ‘special’ schools miles around his town.
To Alec, this was unacceptable. He simply couldn’t let his sister go on without a proper education and without a future to look forward to.
Heart Of Gold
So, he decided to start a skateboarding charity campaign to raise funds. He needed 500,000 US dollar to build a school for those kids in his town.
It was an uphill battle to raise so much. But everything was going great for Alec and the campaign. Donations and sponsors were pouring in and they were steadily reaching their goal .
180° Flip To The Ground
However, during an event when Alex was performing a trick…
Alec suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg, and he lost control of his board and the skateboard hit a kid. Thankfully, the kid wasn’t hurt badly, just a little scuffed up.
News of this went viral and people were outraged. His campaign sponsors and donations were drying up. Even worse, he couldn’t even skate anymore.
“Skateboarding is what I need to build the school my sister needs. I never thought that skateboarding would have me end up like this.” - Alec
To be the best, Alec practiced hard every day.
But he would feel pain in his legs and those pains led to his leg swelling. At the time, he didn’t think much of it. But now he knew that it took a toll on his legs.
Ever since that incident, Alec’s leg swelled up to twice its size!
Alec would never forget what the doctor said to him:
“The activated system that helps balance your body’s fluid is under attack. Causing your leg to swell up and crippled you right now. If you don’t stop skateboarding now, you will never recover.” – Doctor
Felling dejected, he cried and apologized in front of Laila for failing her. But Laila comforted him and kept supporting him.
“Don’t be sad Alec. Everything will be okay.” - Laila
Laila’s words gave Alec the strength to keep fighting no matter what.
He tried all sorts of treatment the doctor prescribed, such as compression bandages, manual drainage massage and medications.
NOTHING worked.
Getting Up After The Fall
Alec even tried new and alternative treatments. He went to all sorts of therapists but even they couldn’t do anything…
Until he met Dr. Johann Strauss.
Dr. Straus is known for combining ancient techniques with modern medicine. He spent 15 years of research finding out an effective way to treat swelling in the critical regions of the body. He found that concentrated Rosemary extract to be extremely effective.
Dr. Strauss called this extract SolaNode™ Massage Oil.
“Ancient Romans and Greeks considered rosemary sacred.”
“It was often used by healers in these early cultures.”
“Using modern distilling techniques, we can extract concentrated Rosemary Oil.”
“This oil easily penetrates skin and tissue layers.”
“All-natural compounds in rosemary is absorbed by the body.”
“It not only flushes out excess fluids and keep them in check.”
“But it also boosts our immune system against diseases and infections.” – Dr. Strauss

“SolaNode™ has given great relief to my neck and I’ve never stopped using it.” – Jenny Hill
“I was suffering from painful leg swelling until I used SolaNode™.” – Rob Walter
Alec was desperate to try anything that can get his campaign back on track.
“I massaged my legs every day for 10 minutes. And I never felt such relief in my legs before! My leg didn’t feel like a rock. After the first day, I could skate like normal again. After 5 days, I was skateboarding like I never had any problems.” – Alec
Back Skateboarding For Laila’s Future
Now Alec could continue with his campaign to fundraise for the future of his sister, and the other kids in his town. Alec worked tirelessly for hours and days to get people interested in the fundraiser.
People were touched by his perseverance and dedication. Because of this Alec made the headlines again, this time for all the right reasons.
Donations and sponsorships started flooding in again. Alec touched the hearts of so many people that a wealthy townsman donated half the campaign’s target.
With the help of these donors, they smashed past his target of 500,000 US dollar.
Alec built a school and named it after his sister, The Laila Academy. Today, Laila and others can have the education and future they deserve.
Alec has inspired others in his goal to provide education for special needs kids.
“It’s on us to make a better life for ourselves and others.”
“The road ahead is difficult, but we must never give up for the future of all kids.” - Alec
