As an extension to the Yahoo ""Living with ALS" group, this website is dedicated to help PALS/CALS or anyone interested in ALS learn to LIVE with ALS by serving as a comprehensive ALS information directory as well as enhancing the outstanding sense of family established in the original group. You will be able to find here: a 24/7 chat room (individual topic rooms can also be established within the chat area); a virtually unlimited photo album section where PALS or CALS can have their individual albums; a library of ALS related articles and postings on a broad range of topics; a comprehensive set of links to other ALS websites and other helpful websites; calendar to post ALS events; an address book section; shopping area where 50% of the profits will go to support ALS organizations and to support this website; and finally, direct connections to PALS and CALS personal websites as well as an offer to give, for FREE, the use of subdomains of this website to create their personal websites including the creation of email addresses. This website will continue to grow and evolve with your involvement and suggestions so please send me any suggestions or additions you want to contribute to ragingbear@charter.net . Also please take time to visit the website sponsors by clicking on their banners on each page or in the special Ragingbear's Virtual Mall section!
