- Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common lethal genetic disorder
diagnosed during early childhood, affecting approximately 1 out of every 3,500
boys and 20,000 babies born each year. A devastating, progressive disorder,
DMD causes loss of muscle function and independence. To date there is no cure,
and most young men with DMD survive only into their early twenties.

largest nonprofit organization in the United States focused entirely
on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. No other organization lobbies the

advocacy, education, and compassion.

Post-Polio Support and Information
center -
POSTPOLIO.ORG evolved from SPACECON/BraveHeart BBS/ISP,
the home of the original PPS Pages and Conferences, and which, for
many years, was both a Dial-Up and Internet-accessible meeting place
and clearinghouse for information on Disability and Handicapped issues,
with a concentration in the areas of Post-Polio-Syndrome (PPS) and
other similar neurological disorders. It was a 10 year old System,
founded by Tom, a Polio Survivor and the disAbilities Advocate at
Our Saviour's Church, that had supplied free interactive access to
the Jobless, Elderly and Handicapped/Disabled community since 1988,
and grew to supply totally free FULL Internet access to those in true
need, and who would benefit spiritually, mentally, or otherwise from
access to Job, Medical or Research information available on the Net.
This 10-year-old+ project has been a spinoff on-line component of
Tom's disAbilities ministry, but in this era of "free" computers and
accesses, it may have outlived it's usefulness.
