Press Release Summary: Disability-Focused Organizations to Speak to Denver
Community, Democratic National Convention Delegates, Media through
Disaboom-Sponsored "Unheard Voice" Activities and Events

Press Release Body: Denver, CO - August 14, 2008 - Disaboom (OTCBB: DSBO;
www.disaboom.com), the premier online community for people touched by disability,
today announced that it will help the voice of the disability community to be heard
at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver through the "Unheard Voice," a
series of disability-focused events and activities. The series of "Unheard Voice"
events, most of which are open to the public, will showcase the political issues of
importance to people with disabilities, display accessible recreation opportunities
and demonstrate how people with disabilities express themselves through visual and
performing arts.

"People with disabilities represent 15 percent of the U.S. population, 37 million of
us are registered voters, and politically, our voices haven't been heard - we are
the unheard voice of this nation," said Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom and a
quadriplegic himself. "The Denver 2008 Host Committee has afforded Disaboom and
other disability organizations the unique opportunity to talk about the issues of
importance to our community and to showcase the ways we've turned disability into
ability on a national scale."

Disability-related events taking place during the Democratic National Convention
include the following:
