Press Release Summary: Online Resource Helps People Recognize Warning Signs and
Understand the Diagnosis of Lou Gehrig's Disease

Press Release Body: Denver, CO - April 9, 2008 - Disaboom, the leading online
community designed for people with disabilities today announced the expansion of its
coverage of Lou Gehrig's Disease . The newly-expanded online resource explains in
detail the anatomy of the voluntary motor system, as well as associated problems,
diagnosis, management and wheelchair recommendations for Lou Gehrig's Disease, also
known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

According to the Mayo Clinic, Lou Gehrig's Disease is a progressive, motor neuron
disease affecting more than 20,000 people in the United States, with more than 5,000
new cases reported each year. Lou Gehrig's Disease causes the degeneration of
specific nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary movement.
The disease eventually leads to paralysis. Information sharing, knowledge of the
diagnosis and management techniques, and a solid support network are crucial when
living with Lou Gehrig's Disease.

"With the radical impact Lou Gehrig's Disease has on performing daily activities, it
is increasingly important that information is readily accessible on its symptoms and
management," said Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom. "At disaboom.com, we offer a
supportive community to help people touched by this disease to educate themselves
and connect with others."

Disaboom's newly-expanded Lou Gehrig's Disease resource center also provides
practical information to help people recognize the warning signs, understand the
diagnosis and learn how to manage the side effects of the disease. Site visitors
can share experiences and offer support by joining a community through chat rooms
and discussion forums located in the community section of www.disaboom.com.

Since its launch in 2007, Disaboom is dedicated to improving the lives of people
touched by disability. Visit the Disaboom Lou Gehrig's Disease resource section by
