BBC Ouch

Ouch! is a website from the BBC that reflects the lives and experiences of disabled people. It has articles, blogs, a very busy messageboard and an award-winning downloadable radio show - The Ouch Podcast). It's aimed at those with a stakehold in disability: family, friends, professionals and, rather importantly, disabled people themselves - without whom all this would be a bit meaningless.

There are many ways to join in, comment and add value by posting your personal experiences or helpful tips. Ouch! often likes to use humour and doesn't dodge issues with fancy politically correct language. And the Ouch team are themselves disabled.

Frontline Disabled Sports & Recreation

Frontline Disabled Sports & Recreation is an outreach ministry of McLean Bible Church, McLean VA. We enjoy sports and outdoor adventures in an atmosphere of fun and fellowship. Activities include, but are not limited to, camping, fishing, biking, snow/water skiing, boating/canoeing, and much more. You don’t have to be a member of our church. This is a way that we use sports as a ministry and we are trying to advance that to include individuals with disabilities as well. Give us a chance, even if it may be the case that you enjoy sports and are looking to make new friends and network. Please visit our web site for more information and if you would like to participate, be sure to fill out the form at the bottom half of the page so we can register your information and contact you about upcoming events!
