Press Release Summary: Disaboom, the Premier Online Resource for People with
Disabilities, Supports the Number One Hand Cyclist in the World on His Quest for
Gold in Beijing, China

Press Release Body: March 13, 2008 - Denver, CO - Disaboom, the largest online
community and resource for people with disabilities, today announced it is
sponsoring Alejandro Albor, a double-leg amputee and the number one hand cyclist in
the world, at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, China. In addition to sponsoring the
Olympic hopeful in his quest for gold, Disaboom will also help finance a documentary
film of Alejandro's life by filmmaker Steven Barber of Vanilla Fire Productions.

"I want to set an example for others and let them 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 Alejandro Albor about his dream to take gold at the
2008 Paralympics and inspire others with disabilities. "You have to be willing to
work at it, though. Everyone wants to win, but few are willing to put in the effort
that winning requires. When you are willing, winning is within reach.\"

Alejandro will participate in several events leading up to the Paralympics,
including The Miami Marathon in January, The Los Angeles Marathon in March, and The
Colorado National Wheel Chair Races in June. Alejandro will then continue on to
Beijing with one objective in mind: To bring gold to the U.S. and motivate others
with disabilities.

"We are honored to sponsor Alejandro as he embarks on an 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 the power of determination."

Disaboom, the leading online resource for people with disabilities, was established
in 2007 with the goal of creating the first comprehensive, evolving source of
information, insight, and personal engagement for the disability community. For
Alejandro, disaboom.com is a long-awaited resource for the disabled population.
"Until Disaboom was established, I had yet to find a comprehensive resource where I
could go for information, converse with others in similar situations, share ideas,
and gain a sense of community."

Visitors to disaboom.com will be able to track Alejandro's journey to Beijing by
reading his personal blogs and looking at his pictures, and videos.
