Lifestyle Accelerator Moves Forward June-12-2010

I've spent the last year touching base with some friends that are involved in social media, friends that are involved in non profits, friends that are involved in SBA, friends that are involved in ministry work. Although you haven't seen any updates on the site, a lot has been going on behind the scenes. Lifestyle Accelerator is about to take a long journey in becoming a non profit ministry. We are going to have a clear mission statement and goals. We're going to overhaul the website, and start a site that is more blog based (but none of the current information will be throw out). Once we get this started, I'm going to invite you all to come and visit the blog- there will be more videos and personal stories, and we are going to have plans of action that we will be working on to better the lives of people with spina bifida. Anyone who is interested in contributing content, stories, heading up any type of fund raising that might occur....please contact me. I'm going to keep you all in the loop. Annie Beth

Thumbs Up To "Sled Hockey and the Cincinnati Icebreakers"!  "Sled hockey players body-check their disabilities at the door." This article in The Enquirer features Chris Starrmann- a clerk in Butler County's Clerk of Courts office.  Staarmann plays for the Icebreakers, and he has spina bifida.               If you know of someone or something that deserves a thumbs up for a positive portrayal of spina bifida or disability in the media please let us know so we can feature them in our thumbs up box.
