Denver-based Disaboom, the largest online community for people touched by
disability, has sponsored Alejandro throughout his quest to go to the 2008
Paralympics in Beijing, China. In addition, Disaboom is helping to finance a
documentary film of Alejandro's life by filmmaker Steven Barber of Vanilla Fire
Productions (http://www.vanillafire.com/vanilla.html).

Recently, Alejandro has been faced with a new challenge. While training in
California for this upcoming event, he was struck by a van running a four-way stop
intersection, dislocating his clavicle. Although he is under medical care, he will
still race.

"I want to set an example to let others know that no matter where you come from, or
what you have gone through, if you have the determination, you can make your dreams
come true," said Albor. "But you have to be willing to work at it. Everyone wants
to win, but few are willing to put in the effort that winning requires. When you
are willing, winning is within reach.\"

"We are honored to sponsor Alejandro as he embarks on this amazing journey," said
Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom. "Anyone touched by a disability understands the
challenges and struggles involved in pursuing such a goal, and Alejandro is setting
an incredible example of determination."

Disaboom was established in 2007 to create the first comprehensive, evolving source
of information, insight, and personal engagement for people touched by disability.
For Alejandro, disaboom.com is a long-awaited resource. "Until Disaboom was
established, I had yet to find a place where I could go for information, talk with
others in similar situations, share ideas, and gain a sense of community. I am
thankful for Disaboom's vision and their belief in me as an athlete and a person."

Visitors to disaboom.com can track Alejandro's journey to Beijing by reading his
personal blogs and viewing his pictures and videos.
