New Stuff

The following is a list of the major changes to this web over the last few months, with the most recent changes shown first:

26th May 2000

Clara Joseph
God heals Clara.

14th December '99

	I'm still alive and feelin' good. : -)
	Robert George This is another great story. Bob is 100% dedicated in his fight to beat ALS. He is wining.

3rd August '99

Keith Gossett
Bill Blossom writes an article about his mate Keith who's had MND for over 22 years.
"This is the story of a man, ordinary by his own standards, who discovers a wealth of inner resources he never imagined her possessed."

10th May '99

Two more of my "Chat mates" have died since my last update.
Grahame Walker and Paul Campbell, both great blokes have joined John Lynch after fighting a good fight.
The four of us use to chat at mnd+fnds on mIRC.
Is it worth the heartache of forming friendships with other MND sufferers? YES. I'm so glad that I had the chance to get to know them. MND for some reason only affects the nicer people.

One such friendship that I have recently formed is with an amazing and inspiring bloke named Bill Blossom. Bill has had MND for 14 years and STILL lives an independent life. He has been kind enough to personally "coach" me over the last few months and I'm EXTREMELY happy to say that I have shown some signs of improvement. Thanks Bill, mate!
Check out Bill's story and be inspired here.

2nd April '99

	Firstly, my mate John Lynch lost his battle with MND. He was a top bloke and always there for a chat. Goodbye John.
	I've totally redone the look of my site again with a new FrontPage theme that I designed.
	I've added Peter Fillipoff's story. Read how Peter has reversed his symptoms. He gives us all hope.
	I'm sorry to say that due to John's death the mnd+frnds chat no longer exists. : ( Prick of a disease.

28th October '98

Not much has happened over the the last month so I've made no new additions to this site except for the new look, which I designed. If you would like to visit my other Website which features all my designs then please go here http://www.vineburg.com.au/FPThemes.htm . It's my 4 year anniversary of my diagnoses on Saturday, yippee.

13th September '98

	MND and Friends Chat group. Join John and Graham for a Chat. They and others are on twice a day every day . Click here for more details.
	I'm trying to start a new Webring which joins MND/ALS related sites together. I you would like to link your site to the ring then apply here.
	The Discussion group had to be dumped unfortunately, because in 3 months only 2 people used it?

5th September '98

	My new e-mail address is paulfran@bigpond.com
	I added a few more links
	Keith Sunbeam launches OzPALS e-mail list
	Due to lack of response to my Chat and Discussion I may have to discontinue them as they are with a different active server who charges me each month. From now on if you would like a Chat with me please pre-arrange it first by e-mailing me.
	I'm moving to Queensland in a few days. Read why here.

17-8-98

	This What's New Page
	I have changed the whole look of this Website by using this new "Pages" theme which I designed all the graphics and layout using FrontPage 98's Theme designer and CorelDraw7. I had a lot of fun designing it and I hope you like the new fresh look.
	I added Linda Santos's inspirational story on my Coping page. It's a beauty for the new PALS.
	I finally got the Chat program working and I hope to be online most nights at 8pm, so please join me.
	The new Links page has links to other MND Sites that I found interesting.
