Disaboom, the online community and resource for people with disabilities, 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.
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.
